Neon Maze – Time Waster
Neon Maze is a fresh take on maze games. The goal of the game is to reach the goal square with your spaceship, but to do so you need to navigate through a maze of variously colored neon barriers. The only way to pass through a barrier is to change your spaceship to the same color as the barrier, which can be done by passing over color pods spread throughout each level.
The puzzles are challenging, but not too challenging, and the way the spaceship moves when controlled with the mouse has a nice, springy quality, yet it responds in a very snappy fashion.
The game becomes more complicated once you advance to a certain point, and the neon bars become “locked”. To open them, you need to have the key of the same color, which you can only get if your spaceship is that same color. If it sounds complicated, it can be, but it’s also a good way of twisting things yet one more time to keep the challenge level up.
