Lost In Maze is Tom Dalby’s entry into the 1kb category 2011 minigame competition, an annual competition where developer compete to produce the best game on various platforms such as the Spectrum, Oric and ZX81 in 1kb, 2kb and 4kb categories.

The aim of the game is to find the key that unlocks the exit to the maze within a set time. To complicate things further the maze is only revealed to you as you travel through it, making the game a tense race against time into the unknown to find the key and exit before your time runs out.

Given that the game is squeezed into a mere kilobyte of memory, Lost In Maze is an impressive work, like Dex it is reminiscent of the early 1980s BASIC Spectrum games. It should do well in the 2011 Minigame competition as it’s a well crafted and enjoyable enough experience. There isn’t quite enough there to keep you coming back for more time and again but it is well worth the occasional play.

Now this is a 1K game that is playable in the very least. Can be good fun the first time you play it yet may not be fun there after. But it's a nice idea that works.
