Arcade gameplay
Fast, punchy, neo-retro. Every run takes minutes, every record falls in seconds.
PunkMaze is a fast, neo-retro arcade maze game. Play on iPhone, Mac and Apple TV with shared progress and global leaderboards powered by Game Center.
A minute in the maze — neon corridors, close calls, one exit.
I was eight years old in 1986, and I played on a Macintosh Plus — black-and-white screen, a fan that never stopped whirring, a floppy drive that crackled every time you launched something. That machine is where I played my very first games. I sank hours into it I could never count.
That Macintosh Plus is still there, in my living room, forty years later. And the fascination it gave me for playing never really left.
I wanted to feel it again — not as a memory, but by building a fast, nervy arcade maze myself, in the spirit of the maze games of that era, with the one thing 1986 couldn't offer: being able to play it anywhere, on iPhone, Mac or Apple TV, with the same progress and a shared Game Center leaderboard. That's PunkMaze.
Volt can hold one power at a time and trigger it with the Space bar: SURGE (a speed boost — electric trail stuns pursuers), GLITCH (phase through the next wall you hit), or EMP (freeze every bouncer for a moment). Chaining pickups fills the FRENZY meter, unleashing double score plus a speed surge.
