Awesome! But walking into a wall should just be ignored in my opinion, and not count as a fault :)

There's one UX issue that would keep me from playing this game again. When you're in a large maze, backtracking with the arrow keys is very frustrating. Maybe the Backspace key could be used to undo the last move instead of having to navigate back with the arrow keys.

Not clear on mobile that you have to h-scroll to get started.

Autoplay popup video ad that started with the corn maze quickly led me to leave the site.

I vibe coded a couple of maze related kids games. Never thought about doing a whole maze related micro-site, but I like the concept!

If anyone's looking for something to entertain the kids ( 2-6 years old ) for 5-10 mins with, links below:

I like the idea - I don’t like the mobile experience. I just spent too many seconds trying to figure out which arrow is down or right in a corn maze. Viewport on mobile is a bit whack. But I like the vibe - just needs some tweaking.

movement triggered on key release is incredibly frustrating
