More about this game
In Mirror Maze, your goal is to guide the block hero to the glowing exit across 10 increasingly difficult levels. The core loop involves studying the path during the 3-second opening preview, then moving through the maze before the timer runs out. As you progress, the maze grows larger, starting at 5x5 and expanding up to 8x8, and shifts more frequently, dropping from an 8-second interval down to 4.5 seconds. A run ends if you run out of time before reaching the exit.
Tips
- Pay attention to the 'Next Shift' indicator to anticipate how the maze will change, whether it mirrors left/right, up/down, or rotates 90 degrees.
- Avoid bumping into walls, as it triggers a hit animation that slows you down and wastes precious time on the clock.
- Use the 3-second opening preview to memorize the initial path to the exit, as the layout will change after the first shift.

How many levels are there?
There are 10 levels in total. The maze starts at 5x5 and grows up to 8x8 in the later levels, becoming more complex as you progress.
What happens when the maze shifts?
The maze will either mirror left/right, mirror up/down, or rotate 90 degrees clockwise, changing the paths and the location of the exit based on the shift type.
How much time do I have?
You start with 58 seconds on Level 1, and the time limit decreases slightly with each level, dropping to a minimum of 32 seconds on the final level.
