Mazeman

Mazeman is a fast-paced arcade game about navigating pixel-art mazes, avoiding or fighting monsters and finding the key that opens the way to the next maze. Your character keeps moving forward unless it hits a wall, and each maze has its own architecture and visual style.

Heroes and abilities

You begin as Mazeman, with 23 more heroes to unlock. Each of the 24 characters has a unique ability, such as bombs, guns, swords, shields, mind control, sprints or portals. Abilities can make a particular floor easier or harder, so you can choose a hero to suit the level or your playstyle. The cast includes a robot that bombs mazes, a time traveller who can stop time, an escapist who uses portals and a psychic girl seeking to prove herself to her tribe.

Mazes and goals

The Maze is filled with monsters, bosses and mini-bosses, as well as helpful power-ups. To advance, find the key and reach the door. For a greater challenge, search the most dangerous corners of each floor for its three hidden gems; collecting them is required to unlock everything in the game.

Story of The Maze

All the mazes belong to a vast maze called The Maze, where the heroes have ended up for their own reasons. The game’s pulp sci-fi story is cryptic, with small pieces of narrative unlocked as you beat levels. The full story may never be revealed, but the clues can help you piece together what The Maze is and what lies behind it.
