Love it. I think the graphics work perfectly for the game and fancier graphics wouldn't make the game feel the same. This reminds me of games on the Atari 2600, I was ready to pop out of a door and encounter that stupid dragon.
Great game, bit of a challenge and really interesting concept. If this is what you can make in 48 hours I really want to see what you can make when given more time.

OMG I love the fact that even before you start, you can just keep going backwards and eventually you'll start from the end n junk! Thats so cool! ^_^

What an amazing concept. This is pretty awesome. The hit detection is a bit wonky, and I couldn't get the full screen mode to work, but that might have been my lap top's fault, it's a grumpy machine. Aside from those two little bugs, and, perhaps the game's brevity, I thought this was pretty outstanding. I can't wait to see more games from a mind that comes up with this!

for those wondering, do the green's right half first. that leads to a dead-end so you can then backtrack and do the left half.

A tip for those frustrated by walking in the same rooms without any advance: this maze has only one wall. Stick to one wall, and walk along it all time. You will surely manage to end the game and probably visit all rooms.

It would be nicer at the ending, when you keep going in until the game restarts, you can take the gun again and shoot two times faster, finish the game twice, take the gun again, shoot three times faster, finish the game thrice shoot four times faster lol

wow, spent way too much time figuring out how to kill the boss: just aim for the spikeless areas on his right/left ;)

@nilsss The reason the game is so short, as per the game's description, is because it was made in 48 hours. I would like to see you make something better in such a short time frame.

Easy 3 Min. Win: Go in the maze and get the gun. then go back out of the maze to the title screen and start going backward. after about 20 seconds of going backwards, you'll be at the end. keep going back until your at the room with the monster, and beat it. YOU WIN! + to keep alive

Anyone else notice that at the beginning, if you go in any direction but into the maze and you keep going until the maze is out of sight, you appear in the middle of the maze?

I can't tell you how long it took me to beat the boss. I didn't realize there were gaps in his spikes for longer than I'd care to say...

This is a very fun and brilliant game. I wish there were health recovery power-ups though. (dies for the 189th time) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Just to clarify things on the hard setting. The hard setting is reached by starting a new game and going toward the outside edge past the point of ???? scores. If you have entered normal mode by moving to the center you will not be able to enter hard mode without restarting the game. In hard mode you start at the center and must make your way to the gun and back to kill the boss, also the moving blocks move faster, the four direction firing blocks fire four times the amount of shots, and the large blocks fire faster. You will also get more points for coins and kills in the hard mode.

At the start screen, keep going to the edge and you'll reach the victory screen with a score of ????. Keep going for hard mode.

You can go backwards (down) from the beginning and start the game from the end(?) of the puzzle. It gives you the achievement "clever" and makes the boxes shoot two bullets.

(Spoiler) To kill the boss: Its left and right sides are open, so when you're not in danger of it coming after you (it's going up and down a lot) stand in the middle of a horizontal hallway and spam space. This will shoot bullets in the chink of its armor (where there are no spikes). Do this a bunch and you'll win.

I like how you can go backwards far enough to reach the "you won!" screen and even the final boss. Blew my mind a bit.

This game has a hard mode: Go down instead of up on the first screen. It takes like 30 seconds, but you go backwards to the game over screen. If you go back to the boss, then it gives you the clever acheivement and ramps up the game. The boss goes faster, the spin blocks now double up on bullets, and the array of bullets now fire faster. The score is even doubled and the song is played backwards. Try it!

Just one question... I earned a bunch of medals while playing - is there any way to see them all in one place at the end?

For those who don't know, the game is based off a fractal. That is where if you keep going inward forever, the shape keeps repeating. Very unique game and I barley survived (1/4 of a live left).
Note: I didn't take the shortcut, I went inward.

Wow, I remember playing this game years ago, and its still a great, easy game with neat mechanics such as the infinite looping by shrinking so much you end up large and at the beginning again, or going backwards and reaching the end of the game that way. To bad that high scores aren't saved, but still 5/5 stars.

It would be really nice if you gave an invincibility period following being hit my a projectile. Otherwise concept was decent and gameplay was decent 3/5

Go Forward, Get The Gun(1st achievement) Then Go Back To The Title Screen, Then KEEP GOING BACKWARDS. So you have reached the boss with full lives. He can only be hurt in the gaps on his sides. once you have beaten him(2nd achievement) you go up, and start the maze from the end. You are now semi-invincible and will find it easier to get the coins(achievement 3.)
+ This So People Can Get Far :)

If you keep zooming out in the menu you will see the win room and if you zoom out more then you will be in the boss without a gun which makes it impossible to beat him (unless you actually kept a gun and then do the zoom out)

DIRECTIONS: Move with the arrow keys, space bar to shoot once you get a weapon.
Extremely simple and clever maze game.
