PIXIE · MAZE

NO FEES - NO ADVERTS - NO SPOOKY PERMISSIONS - SINGLE TAP INTERFACE

A casual puzzle game that happened when a certain classic arcade maze-based game from 1980 got mixed up with another classic 1980 game called Rogue.

You're trying to escape from a series of randomly generated mazes, patrolled by ghosts. The lights keep going out, and things that help you won't stay still.

HOW TO PLAY

You control a yellow blob called Pixie, which you move by touching where in the maze you want it to move to: Pixie 'throws' a small yellow ball to the destination, and Pixie finds the shortest path to the ball.

If you change your mind, throw the ball somewhere else.

The object of the game is to escape all the levels in the maze.

Tiles start off marked with a small dot (a 'spore'); this spore gets removed when you pass over it. Like anti-breadcrumbs. Every spore you pick up gives you a point.

Floating around in the maze are colored blobs with magical properties; when you run over them they get stored in your knapsack, so you can use them later:

Red ones restore your health.

Blue ones let you walk through walls for a short while.

White ones turn the lights back on.

Orange ones give you a fireball to kill nearby ghosts.

Unfortunately, you are not alone in the maze. There are also a number of ghosts, that will kill you if they touch you.

Cyan ghosts just patrol around the maze, but they're lazy and won't bother to enter a cul-de-sac (so you can hide from cyan ghosts in a tile with three walls).

Green ghosts walk between the exit and entrance. They also won't enter cul-de-sacs.

Purple ghosts go to where you were when they turned purple. They plant a little purple flag to show you where that was.

White ghosts try to confuse you by dropping new spores.

Red ghosts are predators and will hunt you down.

According to established scientific principles, if two ghosts of different colors meet, they will kill each other.

If you get really trapped you can tap on the ⚡ button; this will send out a shockwave which will stun the ghosts for a short while, allowing you to pass them safely.

TACTICS

Predict where the ghosts are moving to and hide from them in cul-de-sacs.

Collect magic spores and use them effectively.

Use the shockwave sparingly.

You can go back and forth between levels.

Take advantage of the ghosts killing each other.
