    uniE621 Corn Maze (Halloween Exploration Game)
    A short pixel-art game about exploring a Halloween themed corn maze. This lighthearted game was created for a class assignment, and needed to include some kind of lock-and-key mechanic. I created a maze in which the player must find their candy basket and return to the door of a house to go trick or treating. Along the way, they can bump into various Halloween items to play unique synthesized sounds, or discover a spooky party.
