Yikes - I hate/love how I wake up early to implement a new idea into my submissions.  Been going at it again for the past couple hours, more nice progress - I need to stay cozy and give this submission a rest.

btw- I touched a lot of grass so I'm not really over doing it like I used to.  stay cozy!

There is also the ability to create your own maze. In the grid designer, ( 0 are empty spaces, 1 are walls, 9 is your position, 7 (star) and 8 (cheese) are powerups and 2-6 are cats of varying speeds ).

Also added a couple entry/exit possibilities ( a b ) and ( c d )

You can either solve the numerical levels to advance to the next, or for jam/cheat mode, just hit Page Down and you can play the next numerical level.

this was made with 90% ai?

no, maybe about 10% - (( I would use chat to help troubleshoot some functions or for a reminder about syntax and for the level creator canvas page - once I had my structure, I had it adjust my maze dataset so it would look a little like a recognizable maze)) - I went continuous for at least the past 4 hours here at work.

html, css, canvas and javascript are really fast development - I've been jamming for the past year and have been a shove stuff together coder since 1985 or so (yeah, just a bunch of not so nice code and functions thrown together).   Here's something else I wrote about 10 years ago... http://lostwords.org

(( The mobile friendly source code (lost words world) is over 5,000 lines of really ugly JavaScript! ))  ( The desktop game version that is also found there is equally large and includes the ability to make your own word search puzzles -- over 10 years old though, so you'll see it is a little rough looking.  ;-) )

Also, here's something I spent about 30 days on for another jam.  It was with those many days that I was able to finalize my implementation of  path-finding code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm) that is used here.  https://lostwords.itch.io/alchemist

...and my past year of jamming has a lot of these quick and dirty javascript things I've done.  Feel free to give them all a try and let me know what you think.  https://lostwords.itch.io/

It was nice to prototype two different animal themed games for this jam.
