M.M.'s Maze Madness

A "recreation" of a lost game I remember from one of those "500 Best Games for Windows 95/98" CD-ROMs: find the key hidden in the 3-D maze and make it back in time, watching out for obstacles! If you're keen-eyed, spot the bird and jump to touch it to get to the key fast!

If you're willing to download it, the offline version has better performance and slightly nicer graphics than the HTML5 version embedded above.

I built this game in to learn Godot 4.4, get comfortable with procedural generation of (simple) levels, mess with using instanced meshes to provide scene details, and play around with the maze game loop. The few 3D models in the game were built in Blender 4.3. The devlog goes into a bit more detail about some of the optimizations to make this work well.
