Heres my entry for the 48 Hour Compo.
First game in Unity, second game ever made.
In lack of ideas I started out by doing my own pathfinding engine, and after that built a game based on it. This is the outcome of that!
Hope you enjoy it.
(EDIT: grammar)

i cant seem to restart the second level, it sends me to the main menu when i press space (instead of restarting).
really fun though il try to finish
Pretty cool - might have to dig around the source to check out the pathfinding stuff - very smooth ;)
This is a great game for your second ever, and kudos to you for tackling something outside your comfort zone. Quick tip, you are using the pathfinding grid to calculate the movement, but you did not account for the length of diagonals, artificially increasing movement speed.
Thanks for your comments!
Kidney: I actually did calculate the diagonals as monter when doing the pathfinding. However, I did not have the time to change the movement speed on the diagonal sections. the current speed is just a distance / movement-time.
This was a cute little game. The UX was kind of bad, since clicking slightly on a wall would completely negate your path. It would be much nicer if it would snap to the nearest walkable tile. Also being able to click and hold would be really nice. It was otherwise very enjoyable.
Oh yes, pathfinding! And all that against the clock. Decent game all in all =)
I got frustrated very quickly because of the seemingly random speeds of the character. Other than that though, it was a fun little game with some pretty cool levels actually!
Nice work. I think it could use a little feedback that you were running out of time (like a "beep" sound or something). - this would build some excitement too.
Thanks for all your feedback. Good ideas to!
I was taking a shortcut when calculating speed which causes the "random speeds" your referring to. Sorry about that. I'll blame only having 48h ;)
This was fun! It seemed like a basic get to the end of the maze game but the coins giving you additional time and enemies chasing you added some depth to it. I thought the level design was pretty well done too. Good job!
A good first game, although a little clumsy in control. The movement of the bad guys seemed a bit random.
Good effort. It would be nice if you had continual movement (if the mouse is down and moves to a different tile a new path is generated) as it would have made the game much easier to play.
Not too bad. Nice job going for some path finding stuff. As Kidney noted, diagonal movement is faster.
Wish there were more pathfinding related puzzles. The idea is very unique.
Decent game! Could've used some more action to it though! Grats on, and good job, implementing successful pathfinding!:)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Coooool! Fun playing it, well done sir!
