The Listening Maze vs Blindwave

Close your eyes. Listen. Find your way out. The Listening Maze is a spatial audio maze game where you navigate entirely by sound. Send echolocation pulses into the darkness, listen for echoes bouncing off walls, and build a mental map to escape. Your ears and your instincts are your map. ECHOLOCATION GAMEPLAY Tap Ping to send a sound pulse in the direction you're facing. A quick echo means a wall is close. A long delay means open space ahead. Use the Forward, Back, Turn left and Turn right buttons to explore at your own pace. LIGHTS ON WHEN YOU ESCAPE Reach the exit and watch the maze come into view. Switch on Show my path to see the route you walked, including detours and backtracking. Available after every Campaign, Daily and Endless maze.

The dark is total. You guide a blind creature that sees only through echolocation: every pulse lights the walls for a heartbeat, then fades. All you keep is memory. Pulses are scarce. Blindwave is not a game of reflexes — it is a game of information. Spend a pulse and you see. Move blind and you save one. That single choice is the whole game. TWO WAYS TO SEE ◇ Short pulse — quiet, narrow, cheap ◇ Wide pulse — reveals everything, costs double, and is heard Something down there is listening. WHAT YOU WILL FIND ◇ 50 hand-built levels across 8 worlds ◇ Materials that rewrite the rules: walls that swallow the echo, amber that amplifies it, quicksilver that bends it around corners, glass you can see through but never cross ◇ Gates with their own rhythm, embers that must be lit, shadows that wake only when you shout ◇ A fog that hunts you, a glimmer that leads you, a shoal to herd home — and memories hidden off the path that tell the creature's story ◇ Every world opens and closes with its own scene, where its material answers your echo ◇ A daily challenge — the same level for everyone, every day. Build a streak, share your result ◇ Zen Wave: no enemies, nothing to count ◇ Endless Echo: descend until the echo gives out MADE FOR ONE HAND, IN THE DARK ◇ Portrait, one thumb, no buttons — tap, hold, swipe ◇ Text follows the size you choose on your iPhone ◇ Spatial audio and haptics carry the information: fully playable with the screen dimmed ◇ Works entirely offline. No account, no network, nothing to sign up for HONEST BY DESIGN Free to try: the first world and the daily challenge, forever. One payment unlocks everything else. ◇ No ads. No subscriptions. No energy timers. No loot boxes.
