In Run a Maze you have the option of using power-ups to help Tucker get through the maze! Watch out! In the harder levels of Run a Maze, Greta, the German Shepard will attack anybody that tries to pass her. In the "insane" level of Run a Maze, she will even sniff you out if you don't outsmart her! Oh, and did I mention... the harder the level, the more Gretas there are! Don't worry, though! Run a Maze has power-ups like "Doggy Treat" that would have all the Gretas distracted for a short period of time and allow Tucker to pass any of them. The "Dog Whistle" would make all the Gretas obedient for a short period of time, but don't let that fool you, though, you still won’t be able to pass her! Don't miss out!
