Baron von Puttyngton versus the Cancerous M.C. Escher Maze of Cheese
For reasons we won’t go into here, a series of mazes are growing, like
cancerous tumors, in the middle of calm skies… and yes, they are made of
cheese.
You play the part of the heroic Baron von Puttyngton in this geometrical
fugue, a dashing cube of jiggling gelatin, seen from a view that would be
described as over-the-shoulder, had you shoulders. (Over the vertex?) Your
goal is to neutralise the spread of these mazes, by touching (and turning
blue) each of its segments… faster than it keeps spawning them, off in every
direction.
Rude and unruly, the cheese-mazes have no respect for the conventional, 2D
layouts of mazes, and randomly sprout in all directions. Often this will yield
wall sections that you need to touch, with nothing but the yawn of an endless
sky beneath. Fortunately, in addition to your shimmying cubic jump, endless
lives and controls so subtle you’ll figure out why you turned the way you did
next week, you also have the ability to alter gravity’s “down” pull relative
to where you’re facing. Those pesky walls are now floors! (The Escherian
element, revealed!). Turn them all blue by touching them and move on to the
next maze!
