A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Explore in the dark, find the bling  and escape the maze. The sight of monsters     petrifies you and draws them closer. Use the light to help navigate but don't leave it on too long!  

About: fnbling in the dark is a simple 2d maze game written in Clojure using the Quil library. It was made over the course of a week as an entry for the Spring lisp game jam 2021.

This is my first attempt at making a game in Clojure and mostly wanted to get something with a simple gimmick working end to end. The game features:

  • Light on/off mechanic - Player can only move in the dark whereas in the light the maze is viewable but the player is stuck and enemies will target them. 
  • Randomly populated maps - goal , coin and wall placements are seeded per level and play through.
  • Indicators to show when a player has a hit a wall or picked up the coin in the dark.
  • 3 levels with increasing difficulty

source can be found on my github repo here .

Controls: Arrow keys to move and space turns lights on/off.
