In Deep Maze you'll need to have a good memory.
Follow the paths with good Color and you live.
Follow the paths with bad Color and you die.
Because if you choose the wrong way...
Commands:
D/A or D/Q = right/left
W or Space = jump
WARNING: The web version worked only on FireFox for me, IE and Chrome showed an error, and I had not enough time to fix it :(
I recommand you to use the Java version if you have java installed on your system.
This game was made with Java/Eclipse/LibGDX/Photoshop/Tiled

I know :(
That's why I recommand using a recent version of Firefox or the Java version
Definitely the best game I've played so far! A cool concept well executed. Loved the gaphics style and animations.
It's an interesting idea, but I'm not a fan of trial and error gameplay too much.
"trial and error gameplay too much."
If you remember the colors, you can finish the game without any error, but it's not easy ;)
@Zerod: I installed LibGDX last tuesday, and began to learn it friday for this ludum dare :)
After making this little game, I can say I like it too! Simple, multiplatform and powerful.
Mad hard! I like the idea of merging a memory game with a platformer.
I'm going to blame my numerous deaths on still being tired from this weekend. Neat little game.
The game flashes continues on my screen (IE11) for some reason.
The game crashed on start.

The web version doesn't work well, as I said. I recommand the jar or Android version (or Web with Firefox)
interesting concept! though some of the patterns weren't in the origional reference, and someone could easily take a screenshot.
This ran nicely on my android tablet when I figured out where to tap in order to move and jump.
Graphics style was simple but well done. Some sounds/music would've been nice, but otherwise well done!
Kinda hate the trial-and-error principle.
Things would've been way less frustrating if there would've been checkpoints.
I am super bad at memorizing things like this, so this game is super hard for me!
Interesting idea. Although as others have said, the trial and error does become tedious. Maybe if it was faster paced that wouldn't be as frustrating.
It's notre really trial and error: all the good paths are given to you at the beginning of the game. If you remember them you can finish the game at the first try...
I like how he jumps :D
A bit punitive, it is hard to retry everytime from spawn !
Aww, I love playing games by other libgdx users - unfortunately I get an error 'Error parsing file: map2.tmx' when trying to run it in Chrome:( Ill come back and see if its been fixed later! Good luck!=)
mollymus, please try the jar version or the web version on Firefox, it doesn't work of chrome because big tmx maps (here ≈250*350) don't work well with web version on LibGDX games.
nice concept.. thanks for reminding me how rubbish my memory is haha :)
Pretty good, i concentrated on just memorizing the good colors without symbols and then choose either them (if available) or other colors WITH symbols. Worked pretty well.
That pixel stickman has such a cute way of jumping! Very entertaining, and smart idea. Great for mobile.
A novel idea. I loved the graphical style and the platforming/puzzling balance was handled almost perfectly.
Perhaps use less patterns, they were difficult to remember and I ended up screenshotting them at the beginning.
The collisions seemed slightly off, I could jump through the ceiling.
Very impressed with what you did, although more content would have been nice.
Interesting memory mechanics, there's a lot to remember right at the start, maybe you could have start with just a few symbols ? Anyway good job :)

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
It's the first time i heard about Ludum dare, and i was really impress with this game.
A retro game with innovative gameplay. Moreover it is soft.
You have to play this game !
