Abstract Anteater


"Abstract Anteater" is an independent free puzzle/maze game that's being created in Game Maker 8.

"Abstract Anteater" is a maze game, however it takes an innovative step to try and stay out of the tedious boredom that most maze games are by adding the innovation of width and length to the player. Although at first glance it many very well appear that a maze is easy and has several ways to win it is only a trick. The reality is that the player is too awkwardly sized to fit through all possible exits forcing you to approach the maze in a different way then what the mind is used to. "Abstract Anteater" is not so much a maze game as it is a mind bending puzzle game.

What I currently have done so far.
-Collision has been successfully implemented
-7+ Levels
-Fixed "The Anteater Slide" Bug
