Based somewhat on the first game in the book '49 Explosive Games for the ZX81' which I happen to have a copy of.

Guide the player through a randomised maze from left to right as fast as possible, the score is continually decreasing until you reach the end, colliding with any wall will apply a penalty, reducing the score.
The highest score is recorded, you can clear it by removing the DEATHMAZ.SAV from the sd and reflashing the game.

No specific extra hardware is required.

controls:
RIGHT: move right
UP : move up
DOWN: move down
B : restart/new maze
A : same as B but only once the current maze is finished

UPDATE:
New version:
C now returns to title screen
Player should be easier to see
Minor code improvements

Looks fun. Thanks for posting the zip file!


Oh and thanks for the book. It looks like a good reference for games on our platform (a lot more than 8k rom!) ...now if I could just get it to download...

Nice little Game, but the Player is pretty hard to see :(

Yeah, I wanted to make it easy to differentiate from the walls of the maze.
How about having it render as a solid square while you're moving it and blinking (a bit slower than it does now) when you're not?
