Hi!

Another year, another NightFox & Co. project for the compo.

Mind Maze is a compendium of minigames in which intelligence and skill with the stylus are the basics to solve them.

This project, initially created using PALib, was abandoned early because of problems with this library, which forced the cancellation of the project and the creation NFlib on our part, which we use in all our projects since then.


- How to Play.

Main Menu.
At start, Mind Maze ask us to choice if we are right or left handed and give us the possibility to switch languages (English / Spanish).
In the Main Menu, we can move the icons with the stylus, moving them right and left. To select a minigame or option, we must tap the desired icon.

1st Mini Game - Slide Puzzle.
The objective of this minigame is to solve a sliding tile puzzles of 3x4 in the shortest time possible with the less amount of moves.
A better punctuation, gives you more credits to buy more puzzles.

The 2nd minigame - Couples.
This is a memory game. We will have to make 4 pairs per round, in a total of 4 rounds, leaving the "Jocker" card to the end of each round.
If we uncover before we lose all couples accumulated for that round and we will start again.

3rd Mini Game - Labyrinth.
In this game you have to guide the ball through a maze to the exit.
To move it, touch it with the stylus, without lifting it, move on direction that we want to move the ball. The ball will follow the stylus.
The more distant we are from the ball, we got more speed. If we lift the stylus or the ball touches a wall, it lose control and we expect to stop in order to control it again.

4th Mini game - Cubes
The goal is simple, build any of the 4 images available, turning the cubes. To do this, we will touch the desired cube and you have to turn right or left with the stylus. You can rotate the cube faces as many as you like, but remember, when we put back the cube, all surrounding cubes will turn a face in the opposite direction. To insert the cube, simply will touch the screen briefly.

Common Keys.
At any time you can press the buttons A, B, X and Y (skilled) or the arrow keys (left handed) to cancel or exit the current mini-game or menu in which we are.
