Spoiler: The maze of the warrior monk

The maze of the warrior monk is a maze with two different paths: you can either follow through the maze by taking down various monsters, or you can take a much longer, harder maze without the need to shed any blood.

You start on the top left of the map, the pink circle. The end goal is the spot where the green line is, at the bottom left.

I didn't put much thought on the kind of monsters there are, since I focused more on the maze. However, for the bosses, I was thinking of monsters inspired by the Asian mythology, such as Namahages or Manananggal.

The path that leads to the monsters is very hard. So hard that, for the majority of people, taking the longer path might be quicker for them. This path focuses on action, rather than the maze itself, as there are 4 times less dead ends than the path with no monsters.

The blue lines are part of a wall that gets crumbled down when the monster nearby is slain. The orange lines are an empty space where the warrior can switch to the maze with no monsters, but can never come back. They who take the path with no monsters can never switch it.

You can't die in this maze. If a monster drains all your life, it will laugh at you until you regenerate half of the life bar. The more you get beaten up, the more the monster will laugh at you, and the quicker your life bar will be regenerated. Get beaten up enough times and you will get a permanent boost in life regeneration, but you will hear the monster's laugh throughout the whole maze, unless you decide to switch to the path with no monsters.

There is no time limit. However, there are three endings: the good ending, the very good ending and the best ending, based on how long it takes you to finish the maze. The best and the very good ending are locked if you get the permanent boost in life regeneration. It's more of an easter egg than anything.

Open this in Photoshop, and use the fill tool. (This is also not a valid entry, as it was not made by me.)

Is this that one maze that when you use the fill tool it becomes loss. I can kinda tell throuugh the shapes used.

I really don't get why this has become such a meme lately.

I forgot to ask: Does the game come on a redeemable eshop key? Might gift it to a friend if I win.

 

[Issac]

It is an eShop key, yes

Here's a prototype I whipped up in Unity

Spoiler: Video

https://youtu.be/6byWOgfAwlM
Basically the maze is contained in a 3x3x3 grid of interconnected boxes with massive boulders blocking your way. How do you get around the boulders? By using your powers, you can alter gravity to let the boulders roll out of your way. The person navigating the maze must manage their limited space to find their way to the end.

Spoiler: Map

Controls are standard FPS controls: mouse to look, WASD to move. If you press and HOLD left click, time freezes and you can use WASD to rotate gravity.
I know providing source is a standard here, so if people really want to peek at the Unity project; you can let me know I suppose.

I feel like this one perfectly showcases what happens when I enter a giveaway. I never win.

The player will start at the "Start Position".

Once the player enters to the Teleport area, it will be set on 1 random color room, [A,B,C or D].
The player will need to walk trough the room doors [North, South, East, West] repeatedly 4 times. to be teleported back to the Main Room.
If the player did the sequence in the correct order, before he is teleported to the main room, a number of beeps will sound [can range from 1 to 4].
Once in the main room, the player needs to input the code [Number of beeps] into the color area in front of the teleport area, corresponding to the color of the area he was when received the code.
If the player did not make the right sequence, no beep will sound and he needs to enter to the portal again and he will be teleported to a random room again.

Once the player complete the 4 rooms with the correct sequence, and the cryptex has the correct numbers filled in, corresponding to the beeps that the room gave the user, a new portal will appear letting the user exit the main room.

Note:
There will be NO sound feedback when entering the doors in the room, giving the player any clue that he is walking in the correct order. [This is to lead the player to write them down on paper or something]
The only Feedback will be given once the user complete pas trough 4 door and only if the sequence is correct, else no feedback will be given, and the user will be on the main room.
Sequence are Static, meaning that they will be always the same, however, the code will always change, so the user cant go directly to the cryptex to enter the same number.

That's about it, Good Luck to the other contestants!

Good luck!
