Eric Haines of Starscene Software recently announced his upcoming iPhone maze game Realmaze 3D in our discussion forums.
Not just another 2D maze game dressed up in 3D graphics, this is an actual 3D maze (or, rather, a nearly unlimited number of them) where you have to climb up and down ladders too. Wow your friends with the unprecedented on the iPhone (as far as I know) dynamically created 3D lighting effects.
Realmaze 3D features either accelerometer control, touch control, or a combination of both. The game comes with five different map sizes ranging from “Tiny" to “Insane" to match challenge with player skill. An optional on-screen compass can be used to help get your bearings, and there’s even a “trail of breadcrumbs" mode if you really get lost.
The main objective of the game is to finish each maze size in the shortest amount of time in order to rank highest in the time list.
See the developer’s video for a closer look.
Realmaze 3D has been submitted to the App Store and should appear sometime in the next week or two at a price of $0.99. Eric indicates that he has a few ideas for future updates, such as some form of online competition, so there’s more to come following the initial release.
As mentioned earlier, the game is being discussed in our forums and readers seem rather excited about this one.
