Thanks! I keep creating new mazes by hand, right now I'm at 45 and the goal is 60, plan is that then the game is finished :)

Initially, I wanted to create a maze generator. But I had no idea how to write it. Creating mazes by hand, I'm slowly learning how to make them work (I've gotten waaay better than I was at the beginning). So, perhaps in the future, a maze generator that generates a daily maze seeded by the current date. Idea is to start with a simple maze every Monday and gradually increase the difficulty over the week. But I'm getting a little carried away: the more I think about it, the more I don't know how to create the maze generator.

FWIW, it's MIT licensed and available here: https://github.com/tasuki/iso-maze

Wrt sensitive controls: not sure which version you played, but I just reworked the controls a whole lot to automove to the next junction when you stop touching. It took my LLM and me a lot of time, mostly because I was searching in the dark, not entirely sure what I wanted. The controls are by far the least legible part of the codebase for me!
