A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Survive the Maze will be a head-to head MOBA-lite (I'm trying to invent a genre here :-) ) themed after the Greek myth of the minotaur's labyrinth.

Your goal is to extinguish the torches of all the intruders. You will lose the game if you are exposed to the light for too long. Be quick, and don't get out-maneuvered by the AI! Right-click to move. Left click selects your unit when you have more than one. Tilde (`) for debugging stuff

The Spartan game mode is included for evaluation purposes in the Marathon Jam, but the AI is too elusive, and I have yet to win (or lose) a match in that game mode so far. I have marked the game mode as "coming soon," I would stick to the first game option for the time being. Gameplay balance is on my to-do list.

I initially created this in 4 days for the AI and Games jam. I kept working on it, and was able to submit it to the Marathon jam as well after another month. This was a learning opportunity, but I don't see a benefit to completing the game at this time.
