Ludum Dare 51 – Labyrinth

Ludum Dare 51 – Labyrinth

You are a famed archeologist and tomb raider and have finally found the mythical ever shifting labyrinth. Take care as the labyrinth will shift and change every 10 seconds.

Your goal is to search the twisting corridors for 5 specific items, but beware, the other items are cursed and will send you back to a starting location. The goal is to find all 5 items in the fastest time possible.

This is heavily inspired by the board game with the same name (Labyrinth by Ravensburger)

Controls:

  • WSAD to move
  • E, F to interact / pickup items

Notes / Know issues:
The game definitely needs some balancing. Due to the random nature of the labyrinth it’s very possible for a player to be stuck in section of the labyrinth for some time. If I had more time, or was able to do a second pass I’d probably look to address this in some way. 

Would also like to add a pause menu so players can access settings mid-game
