Meikyu-bey (Maze) in the world
Meikyu-bey (Maze) in the world (世界中の迷宮べぇ) is a fanmade JRPG based on the anime. We can control 5 of the 14 available magical girls (5 from the anime, and 9 without names). The goal in this game is defeating all the witches in a scenario similar to a maze, leveling up our characters without Homura getting out of MP (magical points).
A special feature of this game is, if the situation is in danger (running out of MP, for example), we can travel in time, reseting to level 1 of all magical girls except Homura, and start again the game, but with Homura stronger than before. It's however still possible to defeat the game without ever having to reset the timeline.
Gameplay
The game starts in the streets where various options are shown. The first one is where characters can be selected, you click them once and then select the space of the small square below where the magical girl is going to be (Maximum of 5 girls.) The second option is to save the game, it will not save automatically, so make sure you come back from the maze once in a while to save. The next option is to Reset the timeline, it's recommendable to just click it when you are almost out of MP or when various of your characters have died. When we're ready, we enter on the maze selecting the last option and we have to go forward the maze and fight the enemies (the familiars and witches) around the place. When we touch a familiar or a witch, a fight will start.
The main options we can do with every character in a fight are the following: attack (obviously, do damage to the enemy, it reduces 1 MP per use), magic (open a list of special abilites which the character can make, all of them consume the number of MP it has besose.), defense (reduce the enemy damage it'll do to you), and escape from the fight (doesn't work for witches). When we finish a fight, all the characters will receive some experience points depending of the enemy and HP will be restored (but not MP). If a character ran out of HP during the fight, they will not receive experience points after.
While there's no explicit armor stat, there's level-based defense, causing characters to deal less then stated ATK damage if s/he is too low level comparing to the target.
Every character has a number of HP (health points) and MP (magic points). When the HP reaches to zero, the character won't do anything until someone revives him or until the fight is over and a certain number of MP will be decreased in order to revive the character. When the MP reaches to zero, the character will definitely die and turn into a witch (we can fight against it or avoid it in the maze).
The game can be ended by many ways:
- The HP of all characters reaches to zero in a fight.
- The MP of all characters reaches to zero in a fight.
- Homura's MP reaches to zero.
When we defeat a witch, we'll get a grief seed, it can be used for increasing MP of all characters (a lot, but not the maximum). In the maze, we open the menu, go to the third option, press "okay", and press again "okay" to confirm it; then the MP of all characters is increased or restored.
You may cast magic even when your character not have enough MP; However, doing so will definitely turn her into a witch. It is almost impossible to defeat it in early stage to prevent collecting grief seeds this way. But if your team members are in high level, it is possible.
List of abilities
Here's a list of magical abilities of all the characters we can do when we select "Magic".
(Note: This section needs to be translated from the game, and many of the abilities needs to be tested to find out their effects; other characters' abilities coming soon)

Homura lacks any supporting skills for the team, matching her lonewolf style in the anime. She's also the weakest of everyone statwise without her timeline hopping ability to make up for it.
