Aren't most of the moved forced/only logical move?

isn't this already a thing? I thought it was...

It's not a preexisting WoF if that's what you're talking about

yeah but the "owner" thing this dude isnt the owner of it im pretty sure

You might have seen it before because the testing games are old, I've played this twice but I checked and the OP was in both of them.

You are correct. This position has been around since at least June 2021. I saw it being played, and joined a few games (i.e. 15 June), and even made a few improvements (see game 17 June) , while freely admitting that it wasn't my idea (see chat: 15 June). The last game I played in with a derivative of this position was 17 June.  At that point, I tried to discover who the original creator was so that I could discuss my contributions, and see if that person was open to feedback (15 June, 16 June), eventually tracking down the creator, @ikaltakiri. I reached out to him for possible collaboration, but never heard back (16 June). This is confirmed to be the first game of this position played: 12 June. From what I can see, its creator played his last game in this position on 6 November.

We respect ownership of ideas in this community, and because I couldn't get consent from the original creator to post the revised version, I abandoned the idea, along with my improvements.

In your posting above, you have made no mention of the fact that this was @ikaltakiri's creation, and in fact, presented the ideas as your own, when they clearly are not.

I would love to test, improve, and add this game to our list of WoFs, but that decision is not up to me. It's not up to you either. The ownership of this position belongs to @ikaltakiri, unless anyone can prove otherwise, and the decision of what is done with this position rests with him, and he alone.

For what it's worth, the version of the game I enjoy the most is this one:

Until we hear from @ikaltakiri, this position will not be considered.

You do not have to own the game, only if you have an idea for a WoF.

I have been playing this for years at my friends.

lmao too bad it's plagiarised, the name is amazing

1/4 sec time limit was better. Or 1/2.

well, it's more of a moving maze/labyrinth
