It is always such a brilliant to find another gem of a game that is a secret to all but those have played it.
Space Maze is a game where the goal is to guide your space craft to the end of a level, collecting gems and orbs along the way, whilst avoiding obstacles and drones.
Levels become more difficult with each new one that you open you will encounter new obstacles such as rotating blades, tubes or exploding blocks plus drones which follow you.
Along the way you can collect credits and gems, these are normally placed in precarious positions forcing you off the safest route, but these allow you to buy new craft and upgrade your favourite ones, mine the lime green x-wing. Mods will improve speed, handling or shields, there is no combat, this is purely duck and diving.
Control of your craft is by your head movement, with your craft always flying just in front of you, there is a reticule just in front of the craft that makes it easier to line up for collecting your rewards. The control system is really responsive and any errors are often down to your own misjudged movements.
Visually the game looks really clean, simple cell shaded visuals that are perfect for the game, it is really easy to judge distance and line of obstacles allowing you to make perfect twists and turns.
The soundtrack plays along throughout and is suitably trippy for a space themed game.
I love this game, it is perfect to pick up and play in short bursts, upgrading your ships and making your way through the levels.
