Each screen is a separate puzzle to solve, nothing is random and the game can save your moves for a replay. No monsters were harmed while developing this game.

Maze Slash
Read full descriptionHide full description
Maze Slash is a tactical swipe puzzle — simple to pick up, hard to master. Each swipe sends your hero dashing in a straight line until a wall stops them, slashing every monster on the path. Solve 50+ handcrafted pixel-art dungeons, find the perfect order of slashes, and beat the boss — all offline, no wifi needed. Order matters. Direction matters. Every move counts. One wasted swipe and the room locks you in. WHAT YOU GET • 50+ handcrafted dungeon puzzles + a multi-HP boss to close Dungeon 1 • One-finger controls — swipe, dash, slash, repeat • Pure puzzle design: no random, no grind, just the right move • Undo button for the brave (and the over-confident) • Crisp pixel art with a CRT-style filter • Portrait, one hand, perfect for a 30-second break or a long session • 100% offline — no wifi, no ads tracking you MECHANICS Switches that open doors. Floor traps that punish lazy swipes. Shielded enemies you only kill from behind. A boss who jumps across the grid. Each level is a clean little brain teaser disguised as an action game. A dungeon crawler for puzzle players, an action game for tacticians. Start swiping.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Retro Wanderer at none against Maze Slash's shown. Maze Slash's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
