The game

MazezaM (pronounced “may-zam”) is a simple puzzle game. You enter the
mazezam on the left and you have to get to the exit on the right by
pushing rows of blocks left and right.

In the game = represents a brick, # represents a block, P is the Player
and O is a door. Good Luck.


Keys

I changed the keys to 8, 6, 4, 2 on the numpad, but W, A, S, D will also
work. Use R to restart a level (at the cost of one live).


About the game, by drHirudo

To the best of my knowledge MazezaM’s specific game logic is original.
Unfortunately, there are so many puzzles out there that it is impossible
for me to be sure. If you are aware of a prior instance of the idea,
please get in touch. If possible, include a link which I can add to my
web page.

The idea for MazezaM came to me while recalling an Oric-1 type-in game
called “Fall Guy” (from the book “Sixty Programs for the Oric-1” by
Robert Erskine, Humphrey Walwyn, Paul Stanley and Michael Bews). The
game play is a reminiscent of the game Sokoban (Thinking Rabbit, Inc)
and also bears a resemblance to “sliding block” or “sliding piece”
puzzles where wooden shapes are moved around in order to get a (usually
larger) shape from one side of the puzzle to the other. The name
“MazezaM” was suggested by Robert Byrne.


Compiling

MazezaM is written in C for the ZXCC compiler which can be found in
z88dk.

Use this command line (tested in Linux) to compile:

    zcc +cpm -lndos -o MAZEZAM.COM mazezam.c -O3


New Levels Wanted:

If you like this game and are good at designing levels, I encourage you
to create levels and send them to any of the authors for include in
further versions. Credit of course will be given.
