Maze Speed

Maze Speedrunner, from developer Ravalmatic, does something clever with maze scoring. You are on a time trial to find the way out, but the scoring is directional: each pixel travelled toward the maze exit adds to your score, and each time you have to unravel your path and go back, your score decreases. That single rule changes how you play a maze entirely — a wrong turn is not just lost time, it is lost points, so the incentive is to be certain before committing rather than to explore quickly. Score and time bonuses are placed around the maze for players confident enough to detour, and the obstacles give the route more to think about than junctions alone.
