Tempest Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I haven't played this one in a long time. I love how the 'devil' at the top appears to be wearing a speedo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd30 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The maze shifting mechanic is an interesting challenge. But it results in some cheap deaths and it can be annoying waiting to be able to go where you have to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Haven't played this seriously till now. Now that I know how it works, I rather like it. It's cool that there's no timer, so I keep telling myself there's no reason to take risks, hah. Wish I started this earlier, will have to sink some time into it for sure. 69,600 round 3-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
