Alien Rat Maze
You spent your career running rats through mazes to see what made them tick.
The aliens watched. They took notes. They thought: *excellent idea.*
Now you're Specimen Human-07, and it's your turn to run.
ALIEN RAT MAZE is a top-down maze escape game across 21 chambers. Early
rooms just want you to find the door. Later ones hand you a Space Revolver
with a laser sight, scatter food and ammo through the corridors, and let
specimens of their own loose in the halls with you — shoot to kill, feed to
distract (you can still finish the job afterward).
The clock starts short and keeps growing as the chambers get bigger, weirder,
and actively hostile — mazes that sway, shake, spin, and spiral depending on
their shape. Square, triangular, circular, octagonal, rectangular — nowhere
is safe, and nothing stays still for long.
Die, and you're offered one last deal: pay a Galactic Credit, and a clone
of you resumes the trial exactly where you fell. Beat all 21 chambers and
the Council of Xoraxis reviews your full file — kills, distractions, supplies
gathered, deaths survived — and decides exactly how "worthy" you really are.
FEATURES
• 21 hand-tuned chambers across 6 maze shapes, including chambers that
visibly sway, shake, and rotate while you navigate them
• A laser-sighted revolver — shoot to kill, or feed specimens to buy time
(and finish them off later if you don't need to)
• Every chamber is guaranteed solvable — no dead builds, no impossible starts
• Full synthesized audio: ambient ship hum, alien chatter that gets more
excited the closer you get to the exit, footsteps that echo like a hallway,
and a looping soundtrack
• A "Let's Make a Deal" checkpoint system — die, and negotiate a clone
continuation instead of starting over from chamber one
• A full end-of-run dossier and a rank system (Leader, Killer, Smart,
Collector, Survivor, Serial Cloner) that can stack into combinations
• Play as a male or female scientist
CONTROLS
Move — arrows / WASD / on-screen D-pad (tap = one step, hold = run)
Shoot — Space / 🔫 button
Feed — F / 🍖 button
Best played with sound on. Music by my pal C Dub Mud
