Our take on Rolling in the Maze
Rather than steering a character through a fixed maze, play rotates the maze itself and lets gravity move the ball. That shifts the central challenge to controlling the board's orientation and working through each level's mechanisms.
What is Rolling in the Maze?
Rolling in the Maze is a casual maze game where players rotate the maze to move a ball using gravity.
The keyboard controls are A and D, which turn the maze as the ball rolls through it. Each level has different mechanisms to work through before reaching the end, and levels offer three stars. The early access version contains 10 large levels divided into 49 small levels, with different mechanics across the levels. The game also includes music. On the level-selection screen, pressing 2 and 5 together on the keyboard can temporarily unlock levels.
