About the game

A little mouse is hungry, and its cheese is waiting at the far end of a maze. The mouse starts in the top-left square and must find the right corridor to the bottom-right square. Only one path leads there, and every maze is made at random: when you play again, the purple walls move to new places. Behind the mouse, a yellow line shows the way it has already gone. If you go back, the line gets shorter again, so it always joins the start to the mouse with no detours. The first maze is 5 squares wide, then it grows by one square at each level, up to 14. There is no timer and there are no lives, so take your time to think. After the tenth piece of cheese, you become the maze champion.

How to play

Your goal: bring the mouse to the cheese. Swipe your finger across the maze in the direction you want, or drag the pointer with the button held down: the mouse moves one square with each small movement. You can also tap the four arrow buttons. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys, W, A, S, D or Z, Q, S, D. Walls block the way, and a counter adds one step for each square. There are no stars and you cannot lose: when you reach the cheese, you see how many steps it took, then Next opens a bigger maze. There are 10 levels; after the last one, Play again goes back to the first.
