Chaser Maze
A downloadable chaser for Android
This is my game project called "Chaser Maze". A game that tests your speed and intuition in a maze where you have been chased.
The goal:
- Roam the maze and find all keys to open the Portal while dodging the chasers around you.
The game have 2 Modes - Survival and Time Attack (unlocked after completing Level 5 on Survival). There are some collectibles with can help you during your quest like Ice Shard or Speed Gem (Check "How to Play" in game)! Also the game have an option for "left" or "right" joystick so can be more comfortable for players. Also in Options menu you can change the Volume of the SFX or Music as well.
Mechanics - You move the player sprite with a joystick. The speed is non-constant with mean it changes when you move "full throtle" the joystick or you move it a very little. It is designed like that so you can move a little bit slower so you dont bump into the chaser who also moves fast and sometimes there is no time for reaction (part of the difficulty). The Chaser is the NPC that you need to avoid. He has Detection range and when you step on it he starts to chase you. Nevertheless his speed is slower than yours but his numbers increase on specific levels ,making the game harder to beat. For example on Level 1 there is one Chaser, on Level 8 are 3. On further levels the Chasers are spawned on keys location, with means that you need to go around them or "pulling" them off - a mechanic that i design and i think is very interesting. The Pulling off is to make the chaser go for you and get it out from the Key zone so when you avoid him to get back and get the key. Sounds simple but is difficult to do it on the first attempts!
The game is "one way" oriented style with means you DONT HAVE aditional lives and if the chaser catches you the game ENDS, no matter on what level you are. This ofcourse can be changed in the following version someday.
The game DO NOT contain restricted visual graphic effects (such as blood, violence, speciffic lightining effects). The music and the SFX are composed by me (i am also working with audio programs). DO not requre accounts or players data, it is a simple Singleplayer offline game.
I will be glad if you leave a comment and rate the game so i can upgrade it and do further improvements on it. For now is on "Early Access" (the game have potential for adding more mechanics/collectibles like new NPC's, items, etc.. probably in future Version 2) and i want all feedback for it , for with i will be realy thankfull!
Play, have fun and leave a comment!

The game is simple to install, just download/transfer the APK file on your smartphone and install it. If you have some "defender" or "scaning" programs like those for Google Play you can scan the game (mostly no issues with it) or you can just bypass the check.
