Mazecraft

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know kids that Mazecraft is a puzzle game for iOS and Android devices. Players aren't penalized for failing to complete a maze -- they can quit out of them or, if they die while trying to finish, can attempt the maze again until they do. While deaths happen fast, they can be a bit gory. Make contact with a skeleton, for example, and the avatar appears to explode into numerous small pieces, and some blood is visible. Players are dropped into mazes with little instruction, and some can be confusing. The app also doesn't clearly explain how players can level up or other key gameplay aspects. They can build as many mazes as they like but can only publish 10. The app is free to use, but a subscription cost may come into play. Characters, regardless of their male or female avatar, are also shown in their underwear during play.
