I search out all kinds of maze games online. My personal favorite is the daily maze puzzle site was Pit Jump Mazes, which I wrote about before here. Unfortunately, it is no longer updated :(. If you are a fan of solving mazes on a screen using a virtual pen and featuring a variety of themes, I like Kidev, which features over 30 different themes, including train track mazes and pipe mazes.

Today I wanted to make you aware of a different kind of maze that uses a ball and gravity for difficulty. It is called Maze Control and you’ll need some strategy and understanding of physics to pass the levels. It all starts all easy (don’t they all)…and then at some point you get stuck…and for me that is when things get fun !

There are 30 levels. I have not completed them yet because I am stuck on one of them. As you move forward you get obstacles to avoid. Here is the 1st level and the 6th level for examples. Gameplay uses the left and right arrow keys to rotate the playing surface. The stars move and must be avoided on level 6.

If you like online maze puzzles, you should check this one out !

I admit when I need a break from creating maze art I search for maze like games. My favorite site recently for this content has been the Crazy Games site which has thousands of games (from my research the number as I write this is 5,121). So many games that you need to search by genre to find the type of game you want to play. For me, that is mazes. A search will give you 11 options. Here are my 5 favorites ! I must say my ranking are different than the sites users.

1. Beam. (Rated 8.5 by users)

Not listed as a maze game - it is exactly that, and my favorite one ! The goal is to move the internal pieces of the puzzle that will reflect the light beam from the entrance to the exit. Essentially you need to make a maze. There are 7 different types of levels but all are similar - creating a maze !

Here is a screenshot of the “gridlock” type of gameplay. You need to move the blocks to empty spaces to create a path for the beam to cross the structure ! Although the overall gameplay is simple, I really like the variety among the different types.

2. Maze Worlds (Rated 8.7 by users)

I’m not sure this is a maze game, but I’m also not sure that it isn’t. And either way, I like it. Easy to play and understand.

The gameplay is simple. I actually am not sure how you lose. I just kept completing level after level. You move your player in one of the four directions with your keyboard to ‘fill’ a square. Once all squares are filled you have completed the level. Sounds easy, but as you move on things can get tricky !

3. Maze Planet 3D. (Rated 9.0 by users)

I played a few games and enjoyed it. The 3D nature of the maze mean it takes a different skillset to solve since you are blind to what is around corners - or really around the horizon to be more accurate. No looking ahead to see which pathways are dead ends - you’ve just got to trial and error !

Here is a screenshot of the first level. You use a soccer ball to solve a planet maze made out of bricks. As you move forward, new planets unlock.

4. Maze Discover. (Rated 9.2 by users)

Dig Dug and Mr Do vibes but from above at an angle. You have a shovel and you dig out or unearth pathways into a maze, gaining gold along the way…find a key and exit from the door, etc.

As you advance, you get a pick axe, find hidden passages and gems. Fun.

5. Maze Shooter. (Rated 9.2 by users)

I might be the only one of my friends that is not into first person shooter games, but this one takes place in a maze so that gives it a boost in my mind. I know that many people reading this will also like these type of games so it made the list !
