Exactly as promised, 20 Small Mazes gives you some bite-sized head-scratchers, some of which seem intentionally easier than others so that you're not totally banging your head against a wall. I really appreciated the ability to solve the mazes in any order since this mitigated my frustration somewhat (namely, I was able to save the damn slider puzzle until the end and enjoy the rest of the game first). I'm pretty bad at puzzles like this and the game took me a good bit longer than it probably will the average player, but an enjoyable little project overall.
A short yet sweet game in which you are given multiple panels that consist of 20 Mazes. The panels can be clicked and dragged different places allowing you to tackle them in whatever order you want. Each of the mazes consist of their own gimmick which makes for a pretty interesting game, in just a short time you'll see plenty of neat ideas.
Would recommend for a relaxing break.

This was a perfect little time killer. 20 creative, cute, and simple mazes that ran me about an hour or so to finish. It's exactly what you'd expect, doesn't overstay its welcome, is JUST challenging enough to be engaging, and free! This was a cute little game to play between other games, and a relaxing break from all the 100 hour rpgs coming out lately.
Ghost maze!?

Literally only downloaded and played this because my friend wanted to challenge me and see who could get through all 20 mazes first (it was me and he is still doing his last maze as i type this). Actually enjoyed playing it. Mazes are all unique and do require some teeny tiny brainpower.

Nice exercise in game design using such a simple concept as mazes. Even though the game is free, it is super well-polished and looks so slick. I imagine that being a free game limited the scope of the game, but that made its duration just the right amount of time. I definitely look forward to other games from this developer

Went in expecting 20 small mazes and maybe some meta puzzle involving them. When I played I found myself with 20 miniscule mazes and that's it.
Listen, it's not a bad game by any means. Every puzzle has an interesting idea and it's over before it overstays it's welcome. And the best part is that it's free.
I probably just disappointed myself by creating expectations in my mind, but I can't be blamed. I was spoiled by other free games/puzzle books like CERT, HOUSE or 12 Word Searches. Go play those, they are great.
Overall, it's a free 45 minute time waster. So go play it when you have the spare time and then move on. Just remember to go in with no expectations.

What you see is what you get, folks! You want 20 small mazes? Well, have I got the game for you. What makes this game a little more than just a solid 3 stars is just how fun and unique all the mazes are! All have completely different rules and looks to them, and the way they're scattered about is cute. I like how finishing some mazes gives you a key-item that you may need for completing another maze, but it's rare enough that you don't get annoyed needing to depend on it. Super, super charming game - and the fact that it's free only adds to it! What are you waiting for? Go solve those 20 Small Mazes!
