Maze 95 Ultimate news & patch notes

Game Modes

• Horror mode now uses the large maze size instead of enormous, and you get half as many firecrackers to balance it out
• Rodent Rumble: increased max vacuum power/range upgrade level to 12

Issues

• Fixed the texture settings UI becoming stretched due to long texture pack names
• Fixed chance that unlocking the Number One achievement would not work - just look at the leaderboard where you are #1 to unlock it now if you didn't get it
• Fixed custom rat textures sometimes rendering artifacts at the edges of the texture
• Fixed Rodent Rumble rats sometimes falling below the floor

Hi everyone,

Maze 95 Ultimate is out now and will have a 10% launch discount for 10 days.

Game Modes

There are four game modes with launch:

• Auto mode (screensaver)

• Play mode (find the exit)

• Horror mode (find the exit in the dark while avoiding the giant rat)

• Rodent Rumble (vacuum up as many rats as you can before time runs out)

Workshop

You can upload your own texture packs from the texture settings menu. Once you have your textures configured, just click "Save as Pack..." and then "Upload to Workshop" to finalize the item with a custom preview image. New workshop items are hidden by default, so once you are happy with it, you'll need to make it public to share it.

You can now also batch import textures from the texture gallery section (the big blue Gallery button).

Feel free to use the discussion forums for any questions or to report any issues so they can be addressed.

Enjoy!

Hello all, some new features have been added and improved which are included in the demo:

• Cheese for everyone! In the main menu play mode settings, choose the cheese pickups option if you want cheese instead of coins

• Tank control improvements - turn speed slider, you are blocked from running into walls too closely, and input buffering so you can hold left/right as you approach a turn if you prefer

• Rotation - activating rotation now rotates based on the direction you are facing, and jump height in rotated mode now varies based on how long you hold down the space key

• Customizable input bindings - edit any of the play mode controls to the input of your liking

Hello all,

Feature Updates (available in demo)

• Slide mode: hold right-click to start sliding and move faster!

• Rotated mode: press R to rotate the maze by 90 degrees, jump around and solve the maze in a new way 🦘

• Tank controls: toggle in the pause menu for play mode to control the camera just like the screensaver with the arrow/WASD keys

• Mouse smoothing toggle (recommended with sliding for an extra fun time)

• There is now a 5 FPS cap option available for those that want a more classic experience 🥔

Steam Workshop

In other exciting news, the Steam Workshop will be supported in the full game! You will be able to customize your maze and share your texture packs with the community :)

Have fun with Next Fest 🎉
