sXiX vs Maze Slash
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both games, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
sXiX
Read full descriptionHide full description
sXix is not ordinary runner. Born of shadow, shaped by silence, he moves through realms where each step is a trial — and each trial a lesson. You do not control him with buttons or swipes. You guide him by tilting the world itself. Three elemental gates await: The Gate of Fire – Flames fall from the sky, unending. Weave between them. Each one you avoid strengthens your Echo. The Gate of Water – Ice forms in midair. Seek shelter, time your crossing, and flow without stopping. The Gate of Earth – Climb the mountain through falling stone and shifting sand. Caves will open only for those who endure. Each gate conquered grants a fragment of truth — ancient lessons hidden in the elements themselves. But be warned: If you stand still, the world will leave you behind. Too many strikes, and the gate will close. Time is never on your side. Your journey is not measured in points, but in Echo — the trace you leave behind when you pass through the impossible. Features Unique control – Move by tilting the world, not tapping or swiping. Elemental challenges – Fire, water, and earth each with their own rules and secrets. Mystical rewards – Uncover poetic life lessons after every victory. Atmospheric art & sound – Dark, surreal visuals and immersive audio. Replay for mastery – Grow your Echo and discover hidden depth in every level. Disclaimer: The journey of sXiX exists only in the realm of imagination. All characters, events, and places are fictional, and no part of this quest should be acted out in the waking world. The developer makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, and accepts no responsibility for any consequence, damage, or loss arising from playing this game. sXiX is provided “as is”, for entertainment purposes only. Play responsibly, take regular breaks, and remember — the true quest is always within.

Maze Slash is a tactical swipe puzzle — simple to pick up, hard to master. Each swipe sends your hero dashing in a straight line until a wall stops them, slashing every monster on the path. Solve 50+ handcrafted pixel-art dungeons, find the perfect order of slashes, and beat the boss — all offline, no wifi needed. Order matters. Direction matters. Every move counts. One wasted swipe and the room locks you in. WHAT YOU GET • 50+ handcrafted dungeon puzzles + a multi-HP boss to close Dungeon 1 • One-finger controls — swipe, dash, slash, repeat • Pure puzzle design: no random, no grind, just the right move • Undo button for the brave (and the over-confident) • Crisp pixel art with a CRT-style filter • Portrait, one hand, perfect for a 30-second break or a long session • 100% offline — no wifi, no ads tracking you MECHANICS Switches that open doors. Floor traps that punish lazy swipes. Shielded enemies you only kill from behind. A boss who jumps across the grid. Each level is a clean little brain teaser disguised as an action game. A dungeon crawler for puzzle players, an action game for tacticians. Start swiping.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: sXiX at none against Maze Slash's 1. sXiX also leads on ads (none vs shown). Maze Slash's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
