    In Zardy's Maze, there is a challenge mode with 7 sequential challenges. However, the player can fully customize a challenge to fit their skill set. However, similar to FNAF's Ultimate Custome Night 50/20 mode, I decided to let players push the game to the limit. With Zardy, Pumpkin Jack, Cablecrow, Brute, Rattler and Drought set all to max alongside with a random, 5 vine maze... The community dubbed "True Foolhardy" challenge was set in stone. A max difficulty mode that I thought was impossible... Until one skilled player proved me wrong.

    When you create a super difficult challenge, someone is eventually going to beat it.
    OG 20/20/20/20? Earliest victor that I know is Bigbugz.
    50/20? Rhemery beat Dawko to it.
    Geometry Dash's BloodBath? People have started to beat that one. Same for it's much harder remake.
    True Foolhardy? Nephryte scored the victory.

    What'd be insane is if you found a way to give other players control over the scare crows
    That alone could create a whole new level of challenge, which would be balanced maybe by allowing multiple maze runners as well, but the option of trying to solo run against over 20 enemy players all gunning for you with their only restrictions being the rules they have to play by would create an insane degree of difficulty to overcome

    I can send you a Google Document of the premise and some lore if you want? Or a 7 minute showcase of the Visual Novel I recorded?

    seems the roblox loomian legacy devs actually made their minigame for the 2021 Halloween event based on this game, with the enemies being
    nevermare: based on zardy, can be only avoided by running past sharp corners, or for risk takers, juking.
    event protogon/withered protogon: basically pumpkin crawlers but you die instantly when you walk into the laser
    ursoul: I don't know what it's based on here but I guess crawlers?
    there's also colored faces in the corn sometimes but sadly they can't be taken down like corn stalkers, so it's probably an easter egg
    the exit is also similar to this but blue ring and sign with exit
    pretty cool easter egg to this game and yes ik this is unrelated but still funny
