Meet Bowtie Guy! A doorway opens in a dark maze. Your glowing, smiling Bowtie Guy appears in the doorway and illuminates the immediate surrounding maze... But, he won't be smiling for long unless you can navigate through the dark maze, illuminating it as you go. Find the way out before the maze’s illumination fades and your Bowtie Guy loses his energy. As the Bowtie Guy's energy level drains his expression becomes increasingly sad and he begins to fade! Restore Your Glow! You can restore Bowtie Guy's energy by seeking the power station batteries hidden along the maze. The batteries have a finite amount of power and will go dark once you've drained them. Wormholes - Friend or Foe? Your goal is to find the blue, glowing exit before your energy runs out, but also keep an eye out for wormholes! Wormholes can be your friend, transporting you nearer the exit, or your nemesis, carrying you further away! Wormholes don't appear in all mazes, and on a few they may actually be your only chance to reach the exit. Score and More Your goal is conquer the mazes in the fewest attempts and in the shortest time. IllumiMaze is free and comes with nine mazes at each of the three levels - "Fun," "Challenge," and "Frustrating".
