AMAZE!

AMAZE! fits people who want short logic puzzles without a story or a learning curve. Google Play rates it Everyone, and the one-gesture control keeps it simple to pick up. It also suits anyone who likes planning a route a few moves ahead.

Google Play shows a 4.6 rating from about 336.9 thousand ratings, which points to a game that holds up across a very large audience. It runs on Android 8.0 and newer.

The rule is strict. You swipe the ball, it slides through the maze and paints the squares it crosses. Miss even one square and you are stuck on that level, so route planning matters more than speed.

Early mazes are easy, and the difficulty rises as you progress. Each finished maze unlocks the next, and the game presents a large number of levels. The store page carries 8 screenshots showing the colored maze boards.

AMAZE! is free to download, but it contains ads and in-app purchases. Expect interruptions between levels, which is typical for CrazyLabs titles. The developer also points California residents to a sales opt-out in the app settings, and a privacy policy is available on its website.

If the ball-and-maze idea appeals but you want a different take, related titles include Amaze GO! and Tiles Hop Music & Ball Game.

AMAZE! is published by CrazyLabs LTD and distributed through Google Play, where it has over 100 million installs and an Everyone content rating. It shows ads and offers in-app purchases, so watch what you tap. The developer links a privacy policy and a sales opt-out in the app settings.
