This is my game for the challenge, there's quite a lot I could do to improve it but I'm happy with it so far.  There's probably some bugs so beware!

Good effort!  Especially nice to see it packed in one .exe without a million asset files.

I found it very difficult to keep my orientation, but I guess that is the point of mazes. I met some skulls and a treasure chest but didn't find my way out lol!

Are the mazes auto-generated each time? If so I think I did encounter one bug where sometimes the maze would only be an L shaped corridor, with nothing else in it apart from me. But I just restarted until I got a bigger maze.

Amazing retro aesthetics. Loved it. I will try it out as soon as I can. Cheers, r1ckparker, 

Wow really good take on this concept. I was able to get it on my 2nd try as I didn't know how to use potions (H).

I really liked the art style in this game. I got lost a few times, but my rusty Wizardry skills came back a bit.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, I enjoyed this challenge.  Looking forward to the next one!

Oops I forgot to add that key press to the Instructions screen!  Pressing H uses a health potion.  Thanks!

I hit every key until I could heal.
