GrowNeedle

GrowNeedle is a vertical maze level-based mobile game that combines joystick movement with route judgment in a single match. After entering from the main menu, players use the virtual joystick in the lower-left corner of the screen to push the light core and find a way out of a randomly generated maze. Solid walls cannot be crossed; touching a wall or going out of bounds counts as one mistake, and rapid consecutive collisions are counted only once. After three total mistakes, the round ends. The maze start is marked with a flag, and the diagonal exit is marked with a ring-shaped teleport marker. Sending the light core into the exit earns one point and immediately moves you into a larger next maze with more branching paths. During a match, you can pause, and the pause screen offers restart, continue, and return to the main menu. The number of cleared levels is compared with and saved against your all-time high record, which can be viewed on the high-score board. The grid expands as levels increase, and later on you need to read the branching paths clearly before steadying your direction. Easy to pick up, but the further you go, the more it tests patience and route planning.
