Artful Mazes is a challenging and fun game that requires a subtle touch and eye-hand coordination to guide a ball through an infinite series of fractal-based mazes towards a series of targets before time runs out. Hit the targets and score points to move on to another randomly selected maze. If you think you just can't get to the target in time, you can double-tap walls to destroy them to make a shortcut - but it will cost you some points!

The game features three different play modes: Beginner, Advanced and Zen. In Beginner and Advanced modes you have a limited number of "lives" as you race the clock to hit the targets and rack up points. In Zen mode you still have to beat the clock but you get an infinite number of lives and can stay on any maze as long as you like, or switch to a new one with a swipe of two fingers.

By default the ball is controlled by tilting your device just as you would with a physical rolling-ball maze game, but that can be turned off so you push the ball around by tapping on the screen.
