INTRO

The classical Swedish wooden labyrinth game made by a cheap toy maker who apparently ran out of glue and accidentally made the game even better.

While the loose sliding walls may allow for shortcuts, they can also easily make an impenetrable mess out of the maze.

Choose your route through the maze strategically and then go balls-to-the-walls for hi-scores!

CONTROLS

Sorry keyboard only!

Not playable on touch screen. A bit ironically as Mezzy Maze was orignally intended to be playable on early Android phones using tilt. But the Flash-player on early Android phones was too slow for the physics engine used (Box2D) so a mobile version was scrapped. Perhaps I look into it in the future. I cannot see a virtual gamepad working well, but perhaps still worth a try.

NEW FEATURES?

This is 2022 remaster of the original 2010 game. Improvements include higher defintion for full screen play, minor graphical make-overs, and an additonal achievment. The game play is untouched, however.

The new achievement Speed Demon may call for a better explanation than the cryptic in-game instructions: 'Time bonus/hole score ≥ 66.6%'.

Hole scores represent time in seconds. 'Par' for hole 10 is 10 seconds. 'Par' for hole 20 is 20 secs. To get the Speed Demon award you must be much faster - 33.3% of 'par time'!

For example, if you manage to fall into hole 10 in 3 secs = 30%. Ergo, Speed Demon!

Now, I, the game creator, have only managed it in 4 secs = 40%, so hopefully there are other holes better suited for the task!

MISSING FEATURES?

Yeah, a leaderboard with today's hi-scores. This was a appreciated feature of the original game. I am looking into it right now (August 2024). Now that our old Flash-games are perfectly playable thanks to big improvements in the wonderful Ruffle.js Flash emulator, we definitely want leaderboards back!

Daily leaderboard addded 19 August 2024!
