Game Introduction.

A puzzle based Maze Adventure Game. Filled with hidden gems to increase your chances of escaping! 

Use your character to navigate your way out as you race against the clock to freedom.

The story of the game is the character is trapped inside a maze and is fighting against the clock to escape, the user must collect certain gems to unlock further parts of the maze and to increase the characters abilities, such as, running speed or giving the user more time n the clock to escape.

The rules of the game are simple, the user must navigate their way out of the maze.

Collect the gems to improve the chances of getting out. 

Use the navigation keys to run forward/to the side/backwards and spacebar to jump.

The game will be developed on Unity. 

The game needs to be interactive and connective.

The gems will need to be collected to fully connect with server to trigger reaction/feature. 

The audio will play a vital part in the game as it will show when you collect the gems. 

My visuals will be strong in my game, i plan to have a few alternate routes in the maze for the user to work their way out of within their time frame. 

The  system requirements for this game are simple.

will run on PC/Mac only. as keys are manual.

use of arrow/space-bar keys are necessary.

mouse is inactive during game play.

game starts at the beginning of the maze, player in third person.

uses arrow keys to navigate way through the maze to reach the main/end gem hidden in the centre of the maze granting player access to leave.

gems hidden throughout the maze will boost lifespan of player aka more time added on clock, or run faster.

the clock will add a suspense to the game as player is under pressure.
