EkoScape

Hark, thy weary traveler, to the days of yore! Inspired by Pac-Man and that famous 3D screensaver from Windows 95, get ready to embark on this perilous 3D step-based maze runner!

Story

Your alien kin, the Ekos, have been seized by Robots! Can you rescue them all without being crunched by these mechanical fiends? Or will you feast upon an alien raspberry and munch on the Robots instead! In the final moments, seek out your copper-clad spaceship to make a daring escape. Will you hear the trumpets of victory? Or taste the cold, steel teeth of death? Brace yourself for... EkoScape!

Maps

You can edit the Map files or create your own! They're just simple text files.

Read about editing the Map files in the file assets/maps/README.md that is included with the game, or read online here.

You can share your custom Maps in the comments at the bottom of this page using a Markdown code block (backticks) or on GitHub. Please let me know if you'd like your map to be potentially included in the next version! Thanks!

Code

The code is fully open source on GitHub under the GPL. This is a remake of a game I made way back in 2004. It's written in C++20 using SDL2 and legacy OpenGL 2.0.

System Requirements

• Linux x86_64 (AppImage)
  • glibc 2.14+ (Ubuntu 22.04+; Fedora 16+)

The game has also been tested to work in sandbox mode in the official itch app.
