Hello!
I've made a daily maze game and put it on Itch. You can choose to play the daily maze or select another day's maze. It could use some polishing, so please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions!
Figuring out how to generate a maze was fun. Watch the video below for an explanation of how the maze generation method used for this game works.
I've added a practice mode, accessible from the game's main menu. Practice mode is always the same, and it's designed to give the player experience with various maneuvers. It also includes a large empty area in the top-right for more relaxed practice.
I'm hoping that this practice mode will help players learn the controls without the stress of trying to complete a maze.
Happy mazing!

Although the progress bar was cool, it's even cooler to watch the maze get built. In the hopes of delighting players while they wait for mazes to be generated, I've replaced the loading bar with a visualization of the maze being built.
There used to be a couple of animations to indicate the player start position and the maze's exit, but those animations didn't seem to fit with the rest of the game. The player can now watch the maze get built and there is a delay before the countdown timer starts, so the player can look at the maze before being partly covered momentarily by the countdown timer. The countdown timer is now centered on the screen instead of at the maze exit. Hopefully that makes the timer more obvious. I worry that the maze's exit is less obvious, though.

The game now gives a clear and satisfying screen shake when the player hits a wall!

At a player's request, a trail following the player indicates direction of movement! The faster the player moves, the longer the trail.
