    Kinda hard to believe it has been two years! We've been diligently working on the second game alongside UA-cam and I'm excited to show you more when I can. But for now, in the honor of spooky season, I hope you enjoy a game maker messing with their own game!

    scaling Zardy up makes me think of how cool a giant monster would be for zardy's maze 2. Something massive, but also slow. Not scary because it's sneaking around and could suddenly pop out, but because of the inevitability of it. You see it rise up in the distance and you know It's coming for you, there's no way to stop it coming for you, and you can always see it coming for you.
    I imagine it would be more of a 'support' enemy. The speed and visibility would mean it would be very easy to avoid by itself, but when you're being chased and this thing lumbers through and blocks off an entire junction, it becomes a much more serious threat.

      if you want that experience, bowsers fury is the way to go. you could hide and wait for him to go away (at least until later on, but I won't spoil what happens) or you could enjoy the challenge of navigating the world while bowser constantly cuts you off and scares the hell outta you

    Will Zardy have a third and final song for the FNF mod? I would very much like it to have one last song.

    I had this idea for "pumpkin moon". When a special alarm placed around the maze goes off, the moon appears in they sky. You can hide underneath corrugated tin roofs around the maze. The moon will scan the entire maze, and you can avoid this by hiding either under a roof or in the corn, a more riskier move. Once the moon finishes scanning it will turn back into a regular moon. Those green vines making a box around the maze will also retract when this happens. You can destroy the motion sensors, but it is risky.
    All other entities (but Zardy) will freeze upon the pumpkin moon's appearance.

    What if Zardy's Maze (2) had a speedrun-type challenge in which there are no enemies in the maze at the start, but a small army of Pumpkin Jacks is placed far offscreen? But...would they need a special tag on order to be active when they're blocked out of the player's line of sight by maize?
