Switch Maze
Step-by-Step Gameplay
Step 1: Begin by moving the yellow piece to open the initial pathway.
Step 2: Navigate to the blue switch and activate it to align the blue maze section.
Step 3: Move the green piece to create a bridge to the next part of the maze.
Step 4: Strategically guide the Black Friend to the purple switch and let it hold the pressure.
Step 5: Progress while the purple switch is held down, adjusting other maze pieces as needed.
Step 6: Escape through the final pathway to complete the maze!
Core Mechanics
Switch System:
The maze is built around circular switches, each controlling a specific maze piece of a corresponding color.
Activating these switches moves the maze pieces, creating pathways or blocking progress.
Colored Maze Pieces:
Yellow, Blue, Green, and Purple maze sections are controlled by their respective switches.
Each piece moves uniquely, requiring careful planning to align the path correctly.
Purple Switch Challenge:
The purple switch requires constant pressure to stay active.
Use the Black Friend to assist in holding down the purple switch while you progress further.
Black Friend:
The Black Friend moves persistently and chases you when within range.
Halt its movement strategically by leading it to switches, like the purple one, to assist you in unlocking pathways.
Beware of its return once its task is complete!
