Playing Mummy Maze

Install and run the game on your Palm.

Tap the 'Instructions' button to get a quick reminder of what to do.

Tap the level you want to play (Easy, Average or Hard).

The explorer can only walk in straight lines vertically or horizontally, and you must guide him to the exit without being caught by the mummy. For each move you make the mummy will make two but he's very predictable so you can outwit him and make your escape.

To move the explorer you can either use the hardware buttons or tap on the square you want the explorer to walk to, if you tap on the explorer he will wait where he is standing and the mummy will take his move.

If the mummy catches you there are four options available:

Reset the current maze and start it again.
Start a new game.
See the solution to the current maze, this will then take you back to the title screen once the solution is completed.
Undo the last move so you can try a different move.

Hidden Features...

Graffiti	Action
