About Sketchy Maze.

General

What is Sketchy Maze?

It is a "drawing-based maze game" themed around hand-drawn maps on paper.

With Sketchy Maze, you can draw your own levels and then play them as a side-scrolling platformer game. You can draw maps freehand or with some basic drawing tools (like rectangles and ellipses), specify which color lines are "solid" and which behave like "fire" or "water," and then drag and drop various "doodads" such as buttons and doors onto your map to add some interactive elements.

If you're not much of a level designer, fear not! The game will also feature some built-in levels that you can play and get some inspiration from.

What devices can I play it on?

Sketchy Maze is first and foremost a videogame for desktop operating systems. It should run on any GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows or Apple macOS computer.

If you're feeling dangerous, you can also run it on GNU/Linux smartphone devices like the Purism Librem 5 or Pine64 Pinephone.
