Maze Builder
A snowy maze tower defense game. Build ice walls to stretch the creeps' path across an open field, add towers along the route and survive 30 waves, including flyers that ignore your maze.
Maze Builder is an open-field maze defense game set on a snowy battlefield. Creeps enter at the left gate and head for the exit on the right, and there are no fixed lanes: you draw the route yourself. Drag cheap ice walls across the field and watch the glowing dotted line bend and stretch as the creeps' path recalculates. The longer you make them walk, the more time your towers have to shoot. You can never seal the path completely, so every wall is a puzzle.
Bolt towers shoot fast single shots and can hit flying pests, Mortars lob splash damage at ground crowds, and Shock towers slow and zap everything around them. Every tower upgrades three times and can be told to hit the first, strongest or closest target. Thirty waves bring runners, armored tanks, swarms, a boss every fifth wave and later flyers that fly straight over your maze, so you need real firepower near the exit as well as clever walls. Three fields add rocks and a frozen lake that change what mazes are possible, and clearing one with lives to spare unlocks the next.
This tower defense and path-building strategy game suits anyone who likes optimizing a layout and watching it work. Tip: build the maze first, then put towers at the route's turns, and keep some gold for upgrades. It plays with mouse or touch, with tap-and-drag wall painting on phones in portrait or landscape.
How to play
Pick a tool and click or tap cells on the snowy field. Drag with the wall tool to build a maze, and never block the path completely. Place Bolt, Mortar and Shock towers along the route, upgrade them, and set their target mode. Call waves early for bonus gold. Each creep that reaches the right gate costs a life, and bosses cost five. Survive all 30 waves to win and unlock the next field.
