Leif's Labyrinth - Now Open!

[Aniko]

That was super fun! I thought I was lost forever.

 

[Yanrima~]

I finished the game, I enjoy it as much as the oarfish one!

Listening to the Kokiri Forest theme from OoT while playing this.... just wow @Mistreil I love the games you come up with!

 

[Mistreil]

On one hand, I give you guys a nice and cute little maze game.
On the other hand, Mysteries of the Monolith.

I love all of your reactions to both of them, and the stark difference between them.

the walk cycle, perspective, and fact that borders are just endless trees gives me some very heavy early gen1/2 pokemon vibes

that was fun (though i do wish the walking was faster, but that might just be a browser game limitation that can't be fixed)

also, feels like there should be some music too

I'm glad you got Gen 1/2 Pokemon vibes, since my specific reference for the walk cycle and the likes were Pokemon Silver!
Ilex forest in particular.

Walking could have been faster, but that's the speed I landed at after fiddling with it a bit. I have to make you suffer a little bit, after all. And relive those no-running gen1 feelings.

... As for the music, I did plan on adding it in but had to cut it since I ran out of time. Too much work lately to do more refinements. I may patch it in later, but it's unlikely.

[Imbri]

Several wrong turns, but I found my way through the maze. Thank you, that was fun!

 

[BetsySundrop]

Found it and redeemed tickets. Thank you for the fun challenge!

What a charming game! Missing a bit of good ol' baby park, though!

Imagine how crazy it would drive people if the Baby Park theme was playing and it got faster the longer they were lost

 

[AppleBitterCrumble]

absolutely LOVED this game! Took me so long to figure my way around it but once I realized I was close to the end I felt relieved.

how are you so good at making games? this was so fun! i love mazes, and especially adored the addition of the fairy rings being a portal, it adds to the enchanted and whimsical vibe of it all. the little gnomes were cute too!

if you dont mind me asking, how long did it take for you to make this? im always intrigued by the level of patience and the amount of work/effort game creators put into their creations, you guys are seriously a master at your craft and i admire your skill and dedication.

I

[michealsmells]

That was fun! Such a sweet and simple way to earn a bunch of tickets.
Completed faster than I thought! Love these games you come out with Mistreil, they're always so lovely.

Little pixel Leif and the pixel mushrooms are adorable! You managed to achieve both suffering (the slow walking pace) and happiness (adorable Leif game), all in one!

Admittedly, it didn't take too long -- less than 24 hours in total, probably.

The bulk of the time was probably more spent on me trying to remember how Javascript works -- I don't use it as often, so I end up spending a lot of time looking up syntax and silly things Additionally, I tend to write these games from scratch (i.e. rather than using a pre-existing framework / game engine like Unity), so there's quite a bit of "wasted" time for that.

I'll stop myself here because I don't think I want to derail things too much and I don't know how much detail I should/shouldn't go into
I also remembered I have an AMA thread that I haven't touched forever, but feel free to ask more specific things there if you'd like. And you'll probably get an obnoxiously long answer.

It felt like walking through Ilex Forest in Johto. Gave me so much nostalgia.
Love it! Your stuff is always the bees knees.

 

[Venn]

I keep walking in circles....
I'm officially lost...

 

[Tiffany]

This was fun though I probably should've waited til tomorrow cause it was hard to concentrate being so tired. My only issue was my character kept freezing in place(i played on pc btw).

 

[themysterybidder]

I've woken up at 3.15am and I'm wide awake now addicted to guiding Leif out if a maze! @Mistreil I'm going to go grey before my time!

 

[kikotoot]

This was fantastic! but why do i feel like i should go back and count all the gnomes in the maze

Thank you Mistreil for another game! your events always have a unique and fun flavour
