New Kindle Game - Maze A Thon

Maze A Thon ($0.99) is the first entry in the Kindle game market from A Gamz. This one is active content (so, no internet connection required) and with millions of combinations, you should not run out of new puzzles to solve. There are two reviews (both 5-star) so far and both mention that this game is also appropriate for and playable by children (and they can't hit up your charge card buying smurfberries in it, either).

The only thing I am starting to worry about a bit, is how well the 5-way controller will stand up to heavy use with these games. Since MONOPOLY came out only two days ago, one member of the household has played it thru several times a day (and is playing as I type this; personally, I think the game cheats, so I'll wait until we can play with all human players to try it again).

Book Description
Maze A Thon is a collection of different-sized puzzles with the goal of getting a mouse to his cheese.

There are three types of mazes to choose from: Classic, Wrap Around, and Cubetastic. In Classic, you go from point A to point B on one screen in a standard maze. In Wrap Around, use the keyboard to travel from one side of the maze off the screen to the opposite side. In Cubetastic, navigate through a rotating, six-sided maze.

Multiple levels of difficulty make Maze A Thon fun for kids and puzzle experts alike. You can play a quick, easy game, or spend hours finding your way out of intricate puzzles. And, every time you finish a maze, a new one is created from millions of possibilities, so you'll always get something different!
