Mazecraft will torment you and your friends. Start off by designing a character and then jump right into a maze. You’re able to move your character around using a giant directional pad, making it easy to play with just one hand. The ultimate goal is to reach the finish line, but along the way you’ll want to collect prizes and gold. Prizes allow you to level up your character and unlock new features. Gold can be used to build bigger and better mazes. Maze craft includes an unlimited number of mazes since they are crafted by the community and available to download for free.
