Endless mazes! Run against the clock and find the exit.

You have to find the exit before the plant dies.
Oxigen: find the exit before the sprout suffocates.
Nutrients: eat bugs and rats to stay strong.
You can make tiny and simple mazes or enormous and harder.
This game was made for the Ludum Dare #34
My first #LD34
I've been making games for #1GAM for a time now. Some months I've missed the competition, other months I've quit or I couldn't even finish the game in time.
I wanted so much but I didn't have the time to participate in the past Ludum Date, the #33. So this time I did the LD compo.
It was hard.
The first hour I came up with several game ideas that suited the theme: TWO BUTTON CONTROLS & GROWING.
Many of that ideas where discarded immediatly as they where too ambitious, too big to make it into 48hs.
Then I came up with the idea of the maze and the seed growing underground looking for the sunlight.
...
6 hours later I already wanted to quit: there was no gameplay. There was no fun in the game. I started up all again from the idea sketeches but none where working.
Long story short: I started all over again 3 times in a row in less than 24 hours.
I've have now 1 completed game (Grow!) and 3 other games in various states of development.
I hope the game was worth the weekend I spend making it.
And I hope I've learned something good from the experience becouse I'm looking forward to #LD35.
