Show HN: My Labyrinth Video Game

1 points by felipemnoa 10y ago

Hello All, I'm currently working on a very simple video game that I'm planning to release on the Android Play Store. The purpose of the game is to complete a labyrinth before time runs out. There will be around 50 labyrinths. The link [1] below has a video of the game play. As you can see it is still very rough but I think that the game mechanics are pretty much all set. It has taken me a lot longer than expected (9 months so far) to complete this because I decided to go the crazy route and create everything from scratch. I even created a level editor so that it would be easier to create each labyrinth. I may show a video of the level editor if there is any interest on this game. I'm currently going to spend the rest of my time polishing it as much as I can and creating new levels. Any feedback is appreciated. [1] https://youtu.be/AA4GSmYAQyk

you might wanna test if anybody is interested in playing 3d-labirinths before you create 50 of them... It could be fun if I race faster of course - what about having special items to be able to zoom out and take a peek at the whole map?

  >>you might wanna test if anybody is interested in playing 3d-labirinths before you create 50 of them<< The labyrinths are not that difficult to create actually. The hard part was creating a level editor. Now that the level editor is done it is relatively easy to create the labyrinths. You are right, I have no idea if anybody will be interested in a game like this. I imagine there are people that like these types of games so I'm counting on that. It is a gamble. Worse case scenario I will be able to reuse a lot of the work for my next game, especially the level editor. >>It could be fun if I race faster of course - what about having special items to be able to zoom out and take a peek at the whole map<< I've been thinking about doing stuff like that if it will make it more fun and doesn't increase the scope considerably. Thanks for the comment.
