Surely having the maze being in the shape of a heart instead of a boring square would have produced better responses...

I deliberately did not make the maze in a shape, but kept it square.

I understand that everyone's taste is different. But I went for a form that's visually appealing (to me).

As mentioned in the about, I was inspired by screenprints I saw in a gallery in London, by Ricky Byrne.

I loved the simplicity and how his mazes where visually interesting (to me) through merely color, and composition. This is what I tried to go for. I think I managed quite well, but certainly not as pleasing as Ricky Byrnes artworks.

Though I guess a maze generation algorithm where one can load a mask (png with alpha or BW, for example) would be a cool challenge.
