### 4/5 — Surprised to see a review response after 8 years

*2023-10-01*

I got a notification that my prior review of 3 stars received a response. I appreciate the 3rd difficulty level, but I'm still not experiencing the 2-finger control.

It's been a long time, but based on replaying the game just now I believe what I meant was that often when I'm trying to move myself on the maze I instead end up rotating the screen; hence, it would be nice if when one finger is moving myself a second finger on the screen would rotate the view (and vice versa).

Due to all the extra path segments in Extta Hard mode, it's especially difficult to move myself with current controls. I did manage to complete an Extra Hard level though, and it was a nice challenge.

**Developer response:** In the new release, the slider responds to touches in a larger area around it, making it easier to move the slider without accidentally rotating the whole maze. Touches outside that region continue to rotate the whole maze, as before. This should make it a lot easier to move the slider in Extra Hard mode. If you have any other ideas for improvements, please send a message via the Support link on the 4D Maze page on the App Store and I'll do my best.

### 3/5 — Controls difficult

*2018-12-14*

Nice idea but the easy mazes are too easy while the hard ones are too hard. Part of the reason they are too hard is because the controls are not easy. The thing keeps rotating automatically and also I cannot zoom in.

### 3/5 — Few options, but it's still neat.

*2015-05-14, version 1.1.0*

I like how this maze attempts to show how a 4D maze would be seen in 3D (rather than in 2D), but as a result the interface is more difficult to use. There also are not many options. You just set the maze to 1 of 2 difficulty levels and that's it. I would've liked to see more size options and 2 finger control over rotations.
