Tower Maze by Ionut Cristea

 

Tower Maze by Ionut Cristea is a semi-hidden maze tube puzzle. The object is to slide the silver peg along the green path and get to the end.


Each day, there are 2 new mazes and you can compare your time with everybody else.


When physical puzzles are made into apps, there's a tactile element that is unfortunately lost. Hitting a dead end is an example.  Another: sliding horizontally while pushing down - seeking that hidden path - is also lost.


Still, Tower Maze is pretty cool.


If you want a physical version of this puzzle: look for Doolorinth on Ebay.  Doolorinth has also been released under the title Groove Tube. Screw This is very similar - it's fairly large. The Cooksey Maze is yet another cylinder maze - but it's the rarest. I was fortunate to play/solve one while visiting the largest mechanical puzzle collection in England 2 years ago.


Should you decide that you just have to do more Cylinder Mazes, look for Revomaze.  Unquestionably the best made. Very expensive.
