Method
I would have liked to try for the first time Construct 3 but for the time it was easier to make a small animation simulating the game with two players. For this, I used Illustrator - After effects
Response
This app consists of a game about a maze for which you will need more people to reach the last level. It is a real-time game of minimum of 2 players and a maximum of 8.
It is not a game to compete among others, on the contrary, it is to collaborate.
Each level has a time limit, from 1 to 3 the difficulty is based solely on the speed in which you can find the right path, but from 4 levels to 10, you will need more people to reach your own level.
For this, there will be a window to chat with other players who are online. Everyone can see the same maze and the other players and the goal is for everyone to arrive before time runs out, and so each one will level up.
If they get to a corner, they can't move for one second.
Context
There are some games about Maze which have different goals, for example, a Maze I and II Race Race which is about competing with the computer.

Reflection
Every day the human being is increasingly emerging in the digital world, and I consider it important to develop interactions with others that are not based solely on competing but on helping each other.
I find it interesting to see how all the maze games I found on the internet are about competing individually against the computer, but very little is to collaborate between several people, and some way, this helps to increase the isolation that technology causes sometimes, so that's one of the things like the most of this game. In addition, maze games bring benefits for brain development, such as attention, abstract thinking, psychomotor skills, problem-solving, among others games bring benefits for brain development, such as attention, abstract thinking, psychomotor skills, problem-solving, among others.
