Jeu créé à l'occasion de la game jam Ludum Dare 48 qui avait pour thème "Deeper and Deeper". Le but du jeu est de sortir du labyrinthe dans lequel on est enfermé. Il faut pour cela trouver une clé, puis se diriger vers la porte donnant accès au niveau suivant. Des potions permettent de traverser les murs. Les pièces font gagner des points. Faites attention aux éclairs qui vous tueront au moindre contact. Déplacez le joueur avec les flèches affichées à l'écran. Les boutons + et - permettent de zoomer sur le labyrinthe. Musique d'ambiance et bruitages sont réglables.
