MadMaze description

On some planet there is a mysterious structure consisting of levels, mazes, one above the other. These mazes and explore.

Before each level, you will learn about the purpose of searches (image of the desired ASCII character is also displayed in a window in the upper left corner). Character is located in the centre of the main screen (symbol X). In the maze you can find two kinds of things left by previous researchers: cylinders with oxygen, which is consumed with every movement of the character, and explosives intended for punching new passages. For the use of explosives is necessary to approach the desired portion of the wall, press "space" key, and then specify "arrow" the direction of the blast. Points are awarded for distance traveled along the maze distance was found for explosives for the job. There are no enemies, but there are places where the researcher will be exposed to some "fumes" that lead to its disorientation in space. It is expressed that the character starts to randomly react to pressing the keys control, moving was not where it was sent. In addition, occasional avalanches, cluttered passages of the researcher.

If you lose the game gives you the opportunity to see the whole nedorogoy the maze entirely.

Unfortunately, the complexity is mainly due to the small size of the playing field. Seen only the tiny part of the maze c rather monotonous "relief" that makes moving it almost at random, making the role of chance in the game is too important.
