Micro Maze

About

Micro Maze is a retro arcade challenge where speed and strategy keep you ahead of disaster. Guide a cursor through a grid filled with scattered cheese, collecting each piece before a cat closes in. Movement is simple but timing is crucial, every step you take to gather resources also moves you closer to or farther from your hunter. The maze shifts with each run, demanding quick reflexes and smart pathfinding to avoid becoming a snack. Despite its dated graphics, the game's core loop holds up as a tense test of focus. Critics in 1985 praised its addictive difficulty, while modern players appreciate the way it turns basic mechanics into a high-stakes race. With no save points and a single life to play with, every failure feels earned. The ZX Spectrum version remains the most popular, though ports to modern systems have let newer audiences discover its tricky fun.
