A retro maze game of panic, wrong turns and procedurally generated chaos.

Martie’s Maze is a retro procedural maze game built around controlled frustration. You play as a glowing green rat trying to find cheese before the clock hits zero, using its fading glow as your only compass.

No two mazes are ever the same. Each new game generates a fresh layout, with shifting shapes, paths, dead ends and loops. Complete a maze and the level counter climbs, making the next one bigger and more chaotic. Fail three times and the game drops you back into negative levels, giving you something smaller, calmer and more forgiving.

CRT-inspired visuals, glitch effects and an accelerating square-wave boop turn a simple maze into a feedback loop of panic: rushing leads to wrong turns, wrong turns dim the rat, and a dim rat makes everything feel worse. Find the cheese and the chaos resets.
