Get Mazed!
RealMaze3D takes the game of mazes and puts you literally into the mazes. First off, I have to say the maze environment is really done well. While the majority of what you see if basically walls, ladders, pipes, windows and ventilation grates, it looks and feels like you're trapped somewhere in the ground. Your objective is to see how fast you can find an exit out of the maze—pure and simple.
In terms of mazes, there are 5 different types of maze sizes: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large and Insane which are randomly generated, and played with each one of them to get a sense of the scope and difficulty. Beginning at Normal, the mazes start getting somewhat difficult, but Insane is well basically that. It could be me because I’m terrible at directions, but all the same, the experience could be disorienting as well as frustrating. As for controls, they are pretty smooth but do take getting used to. It took me one maze to get used to them so they are intuitive. You have an up/down arrow set on the left-hand side which allows you to move forwards and backwards. On the right-hand side, you have a d-pad-type control that allows you to look up/down and left/right. In the Options menu, you can also turn on the accelerometer controls that allow you to tilt left/right and up/down. I found turning off tilt was less disorienting, but overall, they are very responsive. Often, you will walk towards a lighted area and find it to be lights in the ceiling…definitely not a walk in the park.
Other options include a compass which you can turn on/off and if you turn it on, your time ticks 10% faster. There’s also a breadcrumbs option that allows you to leave a trial of where you’ve walked. This makes your time go 33% faster. So when you find your way out, it’s a bright light that you walk out to so I don’t know if the dev had some subtle meaning for this. Scoring is local only right now, but I can see an online scoring system especially if you add multiplayer wifi, which would make the game even better.
Honestly, I like RealMaze a lot because it is different from any other game I have. Let’s be clear, this is a puzzle, and it’s intended to be relaxing. The calm background clearly adds to the feel of that. I’m sure some will want more action included, but I like what it is. If you like puzzles, RealMaze is a good one.
aMAZEing application
for your iphone or ipod touch, this app is great to keep on for the go, it keeps you busy for at least a half hour when your bored. my suggestions to make the app better would probably be......
1. hidden messages or hints to help you find the exit on the hard and insane levels. the reason for this is because its almost impossible to escape from the extreme levels, you mostly guess the correct path. maybe even a map that you get to peak at for a certain amount of seconds frequently throughout the game. !!
2. the atmosphere of the game is freaky in itself with the sound effects and small tight hallways to create the illusion that your trapped and trying to find the exit. a great addition to the game would be enemys that unexpectedly come after you, sometimes around the corners. that would be awesome and would add more excitement / fright to the maze.
3. maze designer!
this app is great the way it is but adding some of the features mentioned would make it even more worthy of spending money on. one last thing left to say......BUY THIS APP !! thank you its great
Great
I've seen other reviews complaining about the problem where there is a wall blocking the end of the maze so that you can't finish. Well, the finish will actually be at the right or the left of the wall. There is no actual glitch so its a great game.
