Rotate Maze

You never move the dot directly; instead you rotate the entire maze and let gravity tumble it where you need.

How to play

Rotate the maze ninety degrees at a time. The dot, and the chasing ghosts, fall straight down under gravity until a wall stops them. Pellets stay put, so steer the dot onto every pellet by reorienting the corridors, while keeping clear of the ghosts.

• Spin the maze to redirect which way the dot falls
• The dot drops under gravity until it's blocked
• Collect all pellets to clear the level
• A ghost reaching your cell ends the run

Controls

• Desktop: left/right arrows or A and D to rotate; R to reset the level
• Phone & tablet: keyboard recommended; use a connected keyboard for rotation controls

Game modes

• Daily: a maze generated from the day's seed with unlimited rotations
• Practice: hand-built tutorial and harder levels, plus an endless generated stream

Tips & strategy

• Plan a sequence of spins, not one move, since every rotation moves the ghosts too
• Sweep pellets into a corner so a single drop collects several at once
• On budgeted levels, count your rotations and avoid wasted turns
