A randomly-generated maze game
Blackout is a game where you need to escape dark mazes, while equipped with only a lantern. The game has two modes, each with its own particularities:
- Complete as many puzzles as you can within the time limit
- Pick up buffs that help you along the way
- The puzzles keep increasing in size and difficulty
- Roam around a maze and find the 4 diamonds needed to unlock the door
- Escape the maze in as little time as possible
- Pick up items to help you along the way
See Blackout's gameplay here.
If you already have Greenfoot installed, you may download the Source Code folder and run the project file. This enables you to play the game, as well as look through the source code, if you're curious about how the game works.
Otherwise, enter the Builds folder, and clone the folder of the last version of Blackout. This will enable you to play the game without having Greenfoot installed. However, you still require the JRE.
Note: It is also possible to only download the .jar file if you want to play the game, but do not care about the scoring system. The other 2 files are only for score management and do not impact the game otherwise.
For the sake of keeping, beta versions of Blackout will also be provided, however, they are highly incomplete at best and downright broken at worst. Only the finished releases of Blackout will have a pre-built .jar file.
Even though Blackout is an indie project, the game wouldn't be here today without the help of:
- Agnet 75 - For the theme song
- Lanea Zimmerman - Tiny16 Texture Pack - Partially edited and scaled
- Juhani Junkala - 512 Sound Effects Pack - for the sounds for clicking buttons and picking up items
- Pennomi , Buch , and cemkalyoncu - Ui Elements (specifically, the menu buttons and Score window)
- danpost - Who answered to lots of my questions about writing the code
