Math-A-Maze

Post by eMTe »

In Math-A-Maze you must find your way through a maze of numbers and mathematical operators, starting in the left-hand column and finishing in the right-hand column. How do you know what the correct path is? You are given the final sums of anywhere from 1-8 equations on the right-hand side of the playing field. The path through the maze will carve-out the required number of equations whose totals will be the same as the totals required and displayed on the right.

Mazes are randomly generated for infinite variety and there are board sizes from 4x4 up to 8x8 for all skill levels.

I think this game is quite boring (Sudoku is much more exciting for example). And it is also annoying, because it didn't give you a hint when you solve a part of a puzzle in the wrong way (very often it is possible to get to a certain result in several ways). So sometimes you have to return to the beginning when the maze is nearly done (but it is impossible to get the last result right). I don't think that's challenging at all, but only frustrating.

Basic concept of the game is quite ok, but presentation (design, graphics, music) could have been much better...
