Speed Mazing Reviews

I'm not sure how I stumbled across this game but its a really fun little party game. It kinda reminds of Micro Maniacs back on the PSX even though this doesn't have weapons, or anything like that, it feels similar. You have to race against the clock to get to the finish square in 1 player. In local MP you are competing with other players to reach the finish square first. The 1 player is essentially time trial across certain levels and unlocking Gold, Silver and Bronze achievement times. The MP is local only but its a lot fun if you have people to play with. As with these types of games its reliant on playing with other people to get the most fun out of it but its great for short play bursts with friends if you have people to play with. If they could add an online mode then it would be much easier to play in 1 player but im not sure if there is scope for that with this game.

[b]Summary:[/b] Speed Mazing is a fun maze racing type game which is very well presented. There are lots of maps and environments to try, and two main play modes. It is probably most enjoyable with local co-op with 2, 3 or even four players! [b]Premise:[/b] In versus mode up to four players (human or AI bot) race through a single-screen maze trying to avoid falling to their doom. First player to reach the goal wins! In time trial a single player attempts to navigate a larger scrolling maze to get to the finish as fast as possible. [b]Presentation:[/b] This game is very well presented with excellent cartoon-style graphics and VFX, sound and music. It ran flawlessly in 4k on my 1070 mobile. [b]Comments:[/b] I played solo (versus 2,3 and 4 bots), and also local co-op with my nine year old daughter. Being able to apply a handicap to my character (increasing the difficulty for me) helped level the playing field between us and she beat me several times fair and square. We had a lot of fun, and I think couch multiplayer is probably where the most value is. In principle you could try to get four players around a single keyboard but in practise I would expect you would need a couple of controllers and maybe two people on a keyboard for four player. There are a lot of different maps and environments each which bring a new visual style and / or some other changes e.g. fog, so if you like this game there is a lot of content to enjoy! Congrats to the developer and two thumbs up!
