Mazify Press Kit

Mazify is a fast-paced maze-solver turned endless-runner. Explore millions of randomly generated mazes right on your phone and keep moving forward to escape the deadly abyss. Collect power-ups, dodge meteors, and overcome increasingly difficult mazes to position yourself on the global leaderboard.

Mazify will release on October 31st for iOS and Android. The game will be free with no in app purchases, but ads will be included.

Mazify is inspired by the endless-runner genre of games, but instead of dodging obstacles the player has to solve a maze. The maze is procedurally generated and the further the player goes the bigger and more complex the mazes become. However, the pace of the game only increases as the deadly abyss consumes the ground behind the player faster and faster.

There are many systems to reduce the RNG aspect of a randomly generated maze and prevent the player from getting stuck in an impossible situation. First of all, every maze has multiple solutions. Meteors also fall close to the player every few seconds, destroying walls and opening up new pathways. However, if the player gets hit by a meteor it is game over. Finally, there is also a power-up system with a maximum of 3 power-ups equipped at any moment, adding another layer of strategy to the game.

There are many other systems in Mazify designed to reward skill and dedication of the player, starting with the coins. The player can collect coins through interacting with various aspects of the game, but primarily through regular gameplay. These coins can be used to purchase skins which alter the model of the player character, the trail behind the player, and the level itself.

An achievement system exists which rewards the player with coins for completing various challenges. There are over 20 achievements, ranging from collecting 100 coins to scoring 250 without lifting your finger. Completing all the achievements rewards the player with a prestigious secret skin.

A global leaderboard is in place to let the player compare their highscore with the world's best.

Finally, there is a daily spin system, which rewards the player for logging in every day with coins and extra lives.

Mazify was solely developed by me, Luka Jankovic. I started working on the game in May of 2022 and have dedicated every day of my life since then to perfecting the Mazify experience. Everything from the idea, game design and programming to game art, models, marketing and sound effects was done by me. Only the game's soundtrack was made by my good friend Yan Nesterenko.

In mid 2023 I opened my own game studio, Devote, through which Mazify will be released.

I am very passionate about this project and over the last 18 months I have learned many things about game development, and I finally feel like the product I have made is ready for release.
