MazezaM is a puzzle game and a remake of the 2002 MazezaM originally created by Malcolm Tyrrell for the ZX Spectrum. The game builds on the concept of Sokoban puzzles, where objects need to be moved to reach the exit. Make your way to the exit by pushing rows of blocks around. Each row of the same color is connected and can only by moved horizontally. GAMEPLAY You enter a level on the left and you have to get to the exit on the right. The rules are very simple: The goal is to get the character from the left of the room to right by pushing rows of blocks. Row of blocks can only be pushed left or right. CONTROLS You move the player by swiping left, right up or down. Swipe and hold to continue moving in the same direction. UNDO You can undo 25 mistakes on each level. RESTART If you have managed to get yourself into an unsolvable position, just press the restart button to try again, but this will cost you a life. SOLUTION Have you tried every possible move and still can not get passed this one level? Press the solution button to get a step by step solution of the current level. LIFE When all the lives are used, the game is over and you have to start again from the first level. If a level is passed, you will be rewarded with an extra life. You can have a maximum of 20 lives. SCORING You get 500 point every time you start a new level, but lose 1 point for every move you make. Your score will be added to you total score when you exit a room. Your best score will be submitted to the leaderboard.
