Tilt your phone. Pour your slime through the maze. Gather up the wandering globs along the way. Meandering Muck is a tilt-controlled maze game with infinite replayability. Every maze is procedurally generated using an algorithm refined over ten years. No two runs are identical. No memorization. Just pure puzzle-solving, as many times as you want. Retro pixel jungle temples. Cheerful slimes. Wandering globs that are surprisingly tricky to catch. Things might get a little sticky. TILT TO NAVIGATE Use your phone's motion to pour your slime through the maze. No virtual joysticks, no tap-to-move—just you and physics. Calibrate to however you naturally hold your device, whether you're sitting up, lying down, or somewhere in between. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Competitive Mode Race against the clock. Replay levels to beat your best time. Climb leaderboards for the day, week, or all time. Earn trophies and unlock powers as you progress. For players who love chasing high scores and optimizing runs. Cozy Mode One toggle removes all timers, trophies, and pressure. Just you and the maze. At lower difficulties, the patterns become almost meditative. For players who want calm, not competition. A WORLD THAT GROWS Start with clean temple paths. As you progress through levels and difficulties, wild vines creep in and the mazes feel increasingly untamed. The jungle is slowly reclaiming these temples, and you're just passing through. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Always start at the level after your last completed run. Easy to put down, easy to come back to. Play one maze or twenty—your pace, your choice. FEATURES - Procedurally generated mazes with infinite replayability - Intuitive tilt controls with customizable sensitivity - Three difficulty levels: Beginner, Easy, and Normal - Gather wandering NPC globs as you explore - Unlock and upgrade powers as you advance - Game Center leaderboards (daily, weekly, all-time) and achievements - Works completely offline—play anywhere - Original retro-pixel art and soundtrack - No enemies, no combat, no death—the slimes are pacifists MADE BY A SMALL TEAM Meandering Muck was built by three first-time indie developers: a software engineer who decided to bet on himself, an art student pursuing her dream of game art, and a sound designer from the gaming community. All art and audio is original—no AI generation. OUR PROMISE No ads. Ever. No data harvesting. No daily login rewards designed to manipulate you. No energy systems. No "watch a video to continue." You pay once. You own the game. All future content updates are free. Optional cosmetic DLC (slime skins and maze themes) coming in 2026 for players who want to support continued development.
