It's a hyper simplistic 100f adventure, in the style of the blow game trilogy except notably easier, to the point my casual playthrough was deathless. The lack of difficulty is truly the most interesting thing about it.

Similar to the other game's P is known for like GReeeeN and Showdown, bite sized rooms with their own gimmick in most of them, although this game is even more basic and has a lot more pointless traps, the boss at the end is also pretty weak. Definitely not a bad game but also kind of just boring, I think the most interesting thing is that it used to be a pretty popular beginner game but now you never really hear about it.

Rating based on normal difficulty.
Definitely a classic, I respect the artistic vision, and most of it has aged pretty well, but the saves I disliked, I really disliked because they felt like meatgrinders. Still a solid recommend if you appreciate the dark atmospheric games it inspired, and have a bit of patience.

Very difficult needle game with what seems to be a lot of lore and story with many things left to interpretation, with just a few screens, but with the difficulty enough to push the playthrough very far.
The few aspects of lore can be discerned from multiple signs left around the needle, and to actually get to the end of the game, this exploration will be needed.
I really like this aspect of the game, as it makes what would usually be considered a pretty average difficult needle experience into something a lot more worth going through; this is especially enhanced with the horror-esque visuals which are very well made.
I found some of the jumps in the last save to be kind of frustrating (full jumps where you barely miss the mark are so demotivating) but the effort put into the game helped a lot in having me interested enough to get through, and personally, the clear screen made it worth it for me.

This game is awesome, for one I absolutely adore the aesthetics of this game, the stages look AMAZING, the music is fantastic, and the atmosphere at some point it's mesmerizing, especially in the trigger stage, the final stage, and the ending. The gameplay itself is lovely, the gimmicks are pretty simple but are used very well throughout the game, the triple jump and low gravity stages are relatively basic compared to the others, but they are still very fun. I think the final stage is my favorite, auto jump gimmick is awesome and towards the end there's some really unique screens including mini avoidances, a race, and a memory game, all of which I loved. I can't recommend this game enough, it's short but sweet and truly a fantastic experience all around.

This review is based on a 100% clear
Maze is a one of a kind game, the basic premise is that the game has a bunch of branching paths leading to various rooms with more paths and you need to collect the various secrets around this world. There's a ton of different segments to the game, various underground bits, a water area, a huge room with a rising platform, and a stage up in the sky. Cyber's level design is pretty unlike anything I've seen in other fangames which leads to some really interesting screens like the one with spikes that chase you from the center, the avoidance-ish screen before the cloud boss, the aforementioned rising platform room and quite a few others, it's rare to spend long in this game without seeing something strange but honestly really cool.
The main selling point of the game of course is the bosses. There's quite a few, 10 if you count mini-bosses, and they are a highlight of the whole experience. The weakest one is King of King, it's like the definition of a one attack boss where prefinal is insane and the rest is pretty easy, but besides that I like them all. The Beatmania and Cloud bosses are chill and fun, and in spite of it's obvious issues, I really like piano. The boss has a lot of fun RNG reading and while Red Piano is complete bullshit, it encourages you to develop consistency at the bits which aren't luck based, and those parts are awesome. The best boss in my opinion is the Miku though, it's just great all around, one of my favorite avoidances in an adventure game with a good variety of attacks which feel great to play.
Maze is rather abrasive at times, at I think most people will not really enjoy what this game has to offer, but I at least think it's worth a try because for what it is, Maze is a really awesome game.
