Reap the Harvest

In Reap the Harvest, find the exit to a maze while protecting yourself from the ultimate harvester: The Grim Reaper.

Made for Ludum-Dare 52

Theme: Harvest

Details:
You can neutralize the reapers if you have a crystal, otherwise you’ll get a game over if you run into them. Eventually, after much wandering, you might find a door to escape the maze.

The lights were supposed to ward off reapers, but are currently just for looks. We intended to have the player grow crystals while they edged their way through the maze using these crystal-safe zones.
