## What is Text Maze 2?

Text Maze 2 is a great retro game invoking all the fun of the old Apple II games. Like its predecessor the levels are made completely of text characters.  Unlike the original version, this version includes an entire world complete with various characters and monsters to interact with.  There is a castle, a dungeon, towns and even some other special locations to explore.  This game relies on the touch interface for everything, including combat.  

Not only is it a complete world, you can interact with it in many ways.  You can simply explore.  You can meet people.  You can fight monsters.  If that wasn't enough, it is possible to destroy walls to make your own way.

If you are unsure of an item on the map, simply touch it and its description will show up.  To attack, simply put the game into attack mode and touch where you want to hit.  The game includes ranged weapons - including a bombs. 

If this wasn't enough to explore, each new game presents entirely random maps to explore.  So, if you happen to beat the game once, you can start again for a new experience.

Some features of the game include:

* An overhead map
* The outdoor map wraps around to simulate a globe
* A reputation system that rewards you for good deeds
* Sound effects
* Basic Ray tracing
* Cool Retro graphics
* Authentic Apple II green screen look
* Unlimited replay-ability

Thank you for your interest in this game. It's been something I've been playing with since the early 1990's on an old Apple II and Apple IIgs. If there is enough interest I have several upgrades planned in the future.

If you have any questions or comments feel free to e-mail me at: don.espe@gmail.com.

Please rate this App so I know if I should continue to add new features.

### 3/5 — Crashes a lot

*2023-08-27*

I love the idea of Text Maze 2–it looks like it’ll do a great job scratching my retro RPG itch—but when I got to the first town and explored it a bit, the game started crashing every few turns, becoming unplayable. I’m not sure if my phone is too old to run the game properly or if the game struggles with iOS 16.6.

Despite the fact I can’t play the game, I didn’t rate it 1 out of 5. I actually want TM2 to do well because it looks like it has a lot of heart and I love seeing indie devs succeed. 

Ducky Planet, if you’re reading this, I hope you’ll fix TM2. It seems like a great time, and I want to give it the score it deserves.

### 3/5 — Seems to crash on older phones

*2023-08-24*

I like this game—it scratches that retro itch—but it’s very prone to crashing on my iPhone 8. I haven’t been able to play very long because of the crashes.
