This character will chase and kill you in the Evil Leafy Maze Game.

The Evil Leafy Maze Game is a maze game where Evil Leafy chases you. It was created by Michael Huang to celebrate Halloween 2013. The game does work on Safari for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch products, making it compatible on mobile.

The whole point of this game is to keep moving and survive as long as you can. There is absolutely no escape.

The game can be played here.

How to play

The object of the game is to avoid Evil Leafy.

As the canon character does, Evil Leafy will teleport rather than physically run. You will know she is doing this when your screen begins to flicker. The flickering will begin lightly and barely noticeable; However, as Evil Leafy progresses closer, it gets more severe. You will be able to see her down the hallways, as she is not shaded (unlike the maze).

Evil Leafy is faster than the player, who moves very slowly. It is possible to avoid her by running as deeply into the maze as possible until the flickering subsides.

As stated before, there is no exit to the maze.

Why option

Clicking the "Why" option on the title screen displays a dialog with the following text:

Hi! I'm Michael Y Huang.

I made this for my cartoon show BFDI to celebrate Halloween 2013.

This was before iOS could do WebGL, so I wrote a 2D <canvas> thing that makes a list of trapezoids from left to right, only drawing what's visible. I would not do this today.

Trivia

• This game is known to be unplayable on certain browsers.
• On February 3, 2020, Cary Huang made a tweet explaining he was interested in adding audio to the game, such as heavy breathing, and a 0.1 chance of an Evil Leafy screech.
  • This update was never made, however, since the game still has no audio.
• The game has an Any% speedrun category, finding Evil Leafy as fast as possible rather than avoiding her.
• The in-game timer is slightly faster than real time.
• The game is open source. A Github repository of the game can be seen here: https://github.com/fernozzle/maze
• According to an old Google+ post from Jacknjellify, the game was supposed to be released on Halloween 2013, yet it got delayed until November 3, 2013.
• An early version of the game can be found at htwins.net/maze. This version uses the arrow keys instead of WASD, and the player cannot turn 360 degrees, only around 45 degrees. Evil Leafy can be found standing in place, but nothing happens if she is touched.
