The Maze Runner is a nightmarish puzzle about escaping monsters, out now
It's just a dream, right?
Ever had a dream that you were being chased by monsters? If you have, you may find that The Maze Runner brings you out in a cold sweat.
Oh, by the way, don't confuse this The Maze Runner with the movie and spin-off game The Maze Runner (on iOS [download] and Android [download]). This is something entirely separate.
This one is a 2D puzzle game escaping monsters in a grid-based maze. You have to swap the tiles around so that the character runs across the screen safely.
Solutions come in a variety of different forms. The most simple involves just matching two rooms together.
More complex requires timing to dodge the path of monsters, killing them off, or just reacting really fast to form a route.
If you're thinking that the game idea is very similar to Framed, you'd be right.
There is a slight difference, however, as The Maze Runner is played out in real-time, whereas Framed lets you arrange frames first, and then hit play.
This means that The Maze Runner is a little more frantic than Framed at the potential risk of being more frustrating.
Another difference, at least for now, is that The Maze Runner is available to buy right now.
You can grab it for 69p / 99c on the App Store [buy], Google Play [buy], and the Windows Phone Store [buy].
