aMaze! turns iPhone into game


very realistic transition of the classic wooden balance game Labyrinth

FunGyre has announced the release of aMaze!, the game that turns iPhone and iPod Touch into a classic wooden balance game Labyrinth, where players move a steel ball through a maze avoiding holes. aMaze! is unique for playing exactly like its real world prototype, by tilting device to control the labyrinth behavior and, thus, moving the ball.

aMaze is the most intuitive game control since everyone, who has ever played original Labyrinth game, knows how to play it.

Open AL 3D sound makes aMaze! game even more realistic. The sound models every movement of the ball, adjusting the volume and pitch to reflect the changes in the ball speed and position.

Moving a ball to an exit is just one among potential gameplays. Within this simple scenario, there are levels requiring bonus collection to complete them successfully, which results in longer and more attractive gameplay. More than 100 nicely designed game boards will enable broad audience of players to test their balance sense.

Some levels are easy, other throw quite the challenge, while several require all of your skills to pass.

"One of our first feedbacks on aMaze! told us that the player remembers playing this game with a steel ball and the wooden maze, once he was a kid. He was totally astonished by the game. It's a real pleasure for us to ensure the game you've never experienced since your childhood!", said Alex Dubov, FunGyre CMO.

Pricing and Availability:
aMaze! is available through App Store at $4.99 USD. More information about aMaze! could be found at their website.
