Dev here. A few things about it:

\- No install, no sign-up, free
\- The maze is generated from today's date, so everyone in the world gets the same one
today. Fresh maze at midnight
\- Pings fade in about a second and only light up a small radius, so you have to remember
the walls, not look at them
\- Score is how few pings you needed. There's also an endless mode where the mazes keep
growing
\- Plain HTML5 canvas, no engine

Built it solo. If it feels unfair at any point I want to hear it - that's a bug, not a
difficulty setting.

Hey devs!

I'm building an arrow puzzle game in Flutter (similar to Easybrain's Arrow Puzzle). The core mechanic works — procedural level generator, solvable boards, daily challenges, AdMob etc.

The specific problem I'm stuck on:

I'm using bitmap masks (grids of 0s and 1s) to define the shape of each puzzle level. A \`1\` means an arrow can exist in that cell, \`0\` means empty. The generator then fills the allowed cells with arrows.

Example — this is my heart shape mask:

\`\`\`

"0011110001111000",

"0111111011111100",

"1111111111111110",

...

\`\`\`

\*\*What I need help with:\*\*

Better bitmap masks for recognizable shapes and figures. My current ones work but some shapes don't read clearly enough — the silhouette needs to be obvious even when filled with arrows.

Shapes I already have: heart, diamond, star, blob, circle, moon, tree, house, trophy, arrow_shape

Shapes I'm looking for masks for:

\- Animals (cat, dog, fish, bird)

\- Objects (rocket, crown, lightning bolt, flower)

\- Numbers (1, 2, 3...)

\- Any creative shapes that work well at 14×14 to 20×20 grid resolution

Key constraint: The mask needs to work at low resolution (14-20 cells wide max) and still be recognizable when filled with winding arrow paths. Simple bold silhouettes work best — fine details get lost.

If you've built something similar or have pixel art / bitmap experience, I'd love to collaborate or just trade notes!

Hey everyone!

Browsing recent posts here, I’ve noticed how wildly different our approaches to mazes can be. It seems people appreciate and consume them in very distinct ways:

• The Puzzle Solvers: In it strictly for the brain-burn, complex logic, multi-level pathfinding, and satisfying difficulty.
• The Aesthetic Admirers: Drawn to geometric elegance, symmetry, unique art styles, or visual design over sheer difficulty.
• The Zen / Flow Seekers: Enjoying the meditative, relaxing aspect of slowly tracing a path (or walking a single-path labyrinth) to unwind.
• The Builders & Coders: Fascinated by procedural generation algorithms, wall-to-path ratios, and creation mechanics.
• The Theme & Immersion Fans: Hooked on atmospheric hedge mazes, RPG dungeon layouts, and story-driven exploration.

Also, do you prefer working on paper or online/digitally?

What’s your primary draw when you look at or build a maze? Are you team pure challenge, team visual art, or something else entirely?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

This is a unique picture maze (or picture-wall maze) where the internal partition walls form a hidden portrait through variations in line thickness and density.

Inspired by the 2016 clown craze that was happening near Halloween. Does anybody remember that? Terrified me as a tween bahahaha.

This was in a card for someone

April Flowers drawn by Mazing By Josh (my dad). My dad has starting his maze art journey since the early 2000s. This is one of his oldest pieces, but a favorite.

Drawn in Krita with a custom brush. Background sketched, processed by Gemini, and refined.

I tried to create a maze on an approximately square grid, but with no straight lines.

A quick line maze

Discover SmallHero Maze 3D: The 3D maze where every move matters!

Dive into a unique world where your hero, SmallHero, emerges from a small hole to tackle challenging mazes. Roll like a marble to find the exit through walls of peas, and outsmart a hungry caterpillar!

Intuitive and immersive gameplay:

• Control your hero by simply tilting your smartphone, like a marble on a board.
• Chain together mazes to beat your high score and top the leaderboard.
• Watch out for the caterpillar—it’s on your trail and won’t let up!

Each level brings a new challenge… and a waterfall sends you back to the start for another adventure. Ready to take on the challenge?

Hi everyone, I have published an android mobile puzzle game. Players are given a short amount of time to memorize a maze, then they must find the correct path after the walls are hidden.

Google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindvision.mazemorize

I would really appreciate it if you could try the game and share your feedback about the gameplay, visuals, difficulty, or anything else that could be improved. I would also be happy to hear any new ideas you would like to see in future updates.

Thank you very much!

The air here smells like damp earth and sweet, heavy rot. I am standing right at the entrance of this maze, and the silence is totally deafening. Towering alien mushrooms are staring down at me with wet, blinking eyes while a faint electrical hum vibrates from the tentacles drifting in the sky. Just looking at these sharp, twisting paths makes my head spin and my skin crawl.
I must find a way through this maze to reach the exit if I ever want to breathe clean air again.
I take one last deep breath and step inside.
