About the project

Maze Smash is a small personal game project I made in GameMaker.

 

This game took me couple of days to create in GameMaker, during a course at Playgroundsquad in Falun. It taught me how to work with GameMaker, how to use simple scripting and how to try to make a game within a limited period of time. Even if it is minimalistic, it works fine and just as I wanted it to work.

 

About the game

You play as the little orange character, showed on the bottom left corner at the picture, and your goal in each level is to collect all the stars, which will add points to your score showed. But you need at the same time be aware of the red enemies, that will hunt you in order to eat you. Whenever you are being eaten, you will lose a life, represented by a heart icon. When you have lost all your three hearts, the game will end and you will lose and have to start over. But you can, however, pick up new hearts during the game, in order to gain an extra life.​
