Navigate multi-floor mazes connected by stairs and pits in this spatial reasoning puzzle game. Switch between floors to find the shortest path to the goal. ■ Multi-Floor Mazes Conquer mazes from 2 to 8 floors, connected by stairs and pits. Picture what lies beyond the floor you can see, and think in 3D. Compete with players everywhere on weekly and monthly leaderboards. Earn gold, silver, and bronze badges for top placements and show off your favorite badge next to your name. ■ Daily Challenge A new shared maze every day. Every player faces the same puzzle under the same rules. One attempt per day, recorded on the daily leaderboard. Today's #1 could be you. ■ Craft Mode Build your own mazes and publish them. Up to 7 floors, with stairs, pits, and walls placed freely. Hand one to a friend with a share code, or play mazes other players have made. ■ Deep Scoring System Beyond time and steps, earn bonuses for clearing with no hints, no resets, or a perfect (shortest) route. Chase the top "SS Rank" and master every stage. ■ 9 Difficulty Levels Choose your map size from "Very Easy" to "Very Hard". New difficulties unlock as you progress through stages. ■ Progressive Challenge System Stairs increase every stage, with pits and new floors added periodically. Just when you've mastered the current challenge, a new element appears. ■ Friend Invites Share your invite code. When a friend enters it, you both receive 3 hint tickets and 3 reset tickets. Climb the leaderboards together. ■ Designed for Comfort - Hints: Reveal the next key point on your path - Reset: Restart from the entrance anytime - Marking: Flag dead ends and promising paths with marks, synced across stair pairs - Login Bonus: Earn tickets by playing daily - Tutorial, left-handed mode, and iPad-optimized layout ■ Free to Play Story stages work offline too.
