A downloadable game for Windows

In this game, you solve a maze, but instead of finding the exit, you find the longest dead end. To make the game more fun, the entire maze rotates every 10 seconds, you can't go to a tile already visited and you lose the game if you get stuck in a wall or reach an exit.

By the way, this is David

Controls:

  • WASD: Moving David around the maze
  • LMB: Start the game or restart the game

Extra things you should know:

  • You can't go to a tile already visited. It gets replaced with a wall.
  • Your goal is to find the longest dead-end. You get your score once that happens.
  • If you reach an exit you lose the game.
  • The maze rotates every 10 seconds but David's position remains the same.
  • You can get stuck in walls if the maze rotates. That's why the warning symbol at the top right warns you if you're going to get stuck in the wall when the maze will rotate.
  • But to make it fair, you still get your score even if you get stuck.
