Do you remember classic games like Qix, JezzBall, Styx, or Xonix? Or maybe you're a fan of arcade games that require a strategic approach? If so, you've come to the right place. During the game the player controls the spider. On each level the goal is to create a sufficiently large spider web.

You can also join forces in two-player mode and play on one device, working as a team to defeat the snake that stands in your way.

Run a Maze is the most addictive maze running game out there! With 100s of unique mazes and amazing power-ups such as "reveal key", "mini map", "dog whistle" and "doggy treat", Run a Maze will have you running mazes for hours! Get your alias on the Run a Maze leader board by beating the top scores and displaying it on the world leader board for Run a Maze at runamaze.app! Or, of course, just beat your own personal best! That'll also be fun! Help Run a Maze's Tucker to run and reveal a maze, to find a hidden key and to escape in record time! 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! Get Run a Maze right now and don't forget to leave a review, we know you'd like it!
