Amaze!

Amaze! is a single-line maze-painting puzzler. You control a small block on a grid and your job is to paint every cell — once and only once — by sliding the block in straight lines. The block does not stop until it hits a wall or the grid edge, which means you cannot just freeform around the maze; every move is a commitment to a long slide. The puzzle is in choosing the order of slides so that you reach every cell without trapping yourself. Levels are short — most clear in under a minute once you see the route — but the genre's strength is the small revelation moments when a clever order suddenly makes the impossible obvious.

How to Play Amaze!

Use the arrow keys, WASD, or swipe to slide the block in a direction. The block continues until it hits a wall or edge; every cell it crosses is painted. The level clears once every cell is painted. If the block trails over an already-painted cell, the move ends in failure (some variants instead disallow the move altogether).

Features

Get ready to be amazed! In this game, pop and move the ball to paint your way through challenging maze puzzles. Color every square to unlock new levels, but be strategic—AMAZE gets tougher as you progress. Each level is a canvas, and you must fill every square completely to conquer the maze. Don’t miss a spot, or you’ll be stuck forever! Are you ready for an extraordinary paint puzzle adventure? Let’s pop the maze with color and crossy road challenges!

Tips & tricks

Always look for cells that have only one possible entry direction; those are the constraints you must respect, and they often dictate the order of every other move. Solve from the corners inward, not from the centre outward — corners are the easiest to trap yourself into. If you have already crossed the same row or column twice, you are usually one move away from a dead end; reset early rather than guessing forward.

What we like, what we don't

Pros

  • Pure logic puzzle that respects player time
  • Difficulty curve introduces new constraints gradually
  • Levels are short enough to retry without frustration

Cons

  • No hint use limits in some builds means players can over-rely
  • Visuals are minimalist, which is not for everyone
  • Late levels can feel impossible without practice

Frequently asked

Are levels procedurally generated?

No, all levels are hand-designed with a known solution.

Is there a multiplayer mode?

Single-player only in the base game.

How long is the level pack?

Around 100 hand-designed puzzles.

Do I have to register before starting Amaze?

No download and no sign-up. The game lives in an iframe, so the only thing you need is a current Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge build. Nothing is installed on your device beyond the standard browser cache.

Will this work on my iPad or Android tablet?

It plays well on touch. The publisher exposes the same input surface to both pointer and touch events, so swipes, holds, and taps all register without an extra mobile build.

Does Amaze cost anything to finish?

It is free. We do not list games that hard-paywall their first level. Any optional purchase exists only on the publisher's own site, never inside this embed.

What is the safest way to take a break mid-level?

You can leave at any time — the worst case is that you redo a single stage. Long levels are the exception, and Amaze usually offers an in-game pause that suspends the run instead of restarting it.
