If you’ve ever been looking for an excuse to walk into things, stumble around and generally put your life at risk, you could always try a quick game of Magic Maze for Android. devGuide’s new game combines physical GPS position with an on-screen labyrinth, which the player navigates by moving around their environment.
The company recommends you play outside, and given the sharp blow we’ve just received to the face thanks to a sudden turn into a doorframe, we’d agree it’s the best plan of action. Your route has to take place within the on-screen game area – if you try to cheat the phone will know, and you’ll lose – but you also lose a life by stepping on any of the green squares.
We’d like to have seen a little more in the way of real-world interaction, perhaps some augmented reality so that the game is overlaid onto the camera’s view of what’s physically ahead of you. Still, maybe we’ll get that in a later release. Magic Maze is available to download now, priced at £0.99 ($1.55).
