Maze Trap

Thu, 29 Sep 2011 02:28:09 +0000

In Maze Trap you are a blue ball (the hero) inside a maze and your goal is to trap the enemies,
the black balls (aka monsters), so they have nowhere to move, i.e. no empty spaces to move to.

To achieve this goal you have to push around the green maze building blocks in order to build
walls to first block and then trap your enemies. This is not an easy task as the monsters are
clever and continuously pursue you. There is some similarity to a cat and mouse chase, with the
roles of cat and mice reversing as the game progresses.

In summary, Maze Trap is an addictive strategic action puzzle game, somewhere in between pacman
and sokoban. To excel at MazeTrap you will need a mixture of long-term strategy
with quick reaction skills.

MazeTrap runs on any Android powered device, starting on Android 1.5. Furthermore the game
only requires 50Kb of space and no special permissions.
MazeTrap is also ad free, so enjoy and please provide feedback for future versions.
