'The Mirror Maze' Review – Ow, My Brain Hurts

'The Mirror Maze' Review – Ow, My Brain Hurts

posted by Eli Hodapp on May 25th, 2010 4:34 AM EDT in $0.99, Games, Puzzle, Reviews, iPhone games, iPod touch games

Re-posted by Yonatan Frimer

Last weekend, Assyria Games' unleashed The Mirror Maze [$1.99] on the App Store. Like any good puzzle game, the entire premise of The Mirror Maze can be explained in a single sentence: Control a red and a green ball, and get each of them in to their matching color zones on the other side of the screen.

This goal is accomplished by touching where you want the red ball to go. The green ball then goes in the opposite direction. The first few levels are very easy, and it doesn't take you long to understand the remarkably simple concept of the game. This is the exact moment that The Mirror Maze starts throwing increasingly difficult mazes at you which require a surprising amount of brain power to complete once the levels advance to the point of not being symmetrical at all.

Not only do the mazes become completely asymmetrical, but they eventually start being composed of both moving barriers and the warp gates seen above which act like little portals warping your ball between them. All of these obstacles must be successfully avoided using a single input for both balls, and it's really surprising how much thought goes in to figuring out the movements of both balls using a single touch input.

The Mirror Maze has online leaderboards powered by Agon, and while there are currently only 36 levels included in this version of the game, the following gameplay trailer makes mention of more levels coming soon:

There have been a ton of maze games released on the iPhone, but few offer much variation on just getting a single ball to the end of a maze. It would be nice if there were more levels, and there is an odd pause as mazes reload upon each retry (of which there will likely be many), but The Mirror Maze is worth trying just to see how difficult it can be to not only avoid obstacles with the ball with regular controls but also constantly thinking in reverse while you manage the other ball.

Timeline of BP Oil Disaster

A Timeline of the BP Oil Spill Crisis [Pics]

The BP Oil Spill is shaping up to be the biggest black swan in a while. In case you missed the details, here is the Cheat Sheet:

April 20: Transocean’s (NYSE: RIG) Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explodes off Louisiana coast. The Coast Guard responds with a search-and-rescue mission. More than 100 workers are rescued. Eleven workers missing and presumed dead.

April 21: Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes is dispatched to the Gulf to coordinate the government’s response.

April 22: The rig sinks. President Obama briefed in the Oval Office by members of his Cabinet and other advisers, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and economic adviser Larry Summers. The government is monitoring the spill, but the focus is still largely search and rescue.

April 23: Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry says no oil appears to be leaking from the undersea wellhead or at the water’s surface.

April 24: Leak reported; oil is estimated to be leaking at the rate of 1,000 barrels a day.

April 29: Coast Guard says leak may be five times greater than earlier estimate: 5,000 barrels a day. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declares state of emergency. Napolitano declares this a “spill of national significance,” allowing additional resources to flow to the Gulf from around the country.

April 30: Napolitano and Salazar visit the Gulf region. Obama says he continues to believe in increased domestic oil production but adds it must be done “responsibly” to protect both workers and environment.

May 1: Allen, the Coast Guard commandant, is named national incident commander.

May 2: Obama visits Coast Guard station in Venice, La. Federal government bans fishing for at least 10 days in a large swath of the Gulf between the mouth of the Mississippi River and Pensacola Bay.

May 3: BP CEO Tony Hayward tells NPR his company will pay for the cleanup and any “legitimate” legal claims.

Maze Cartoon topic in the news:

United States Moves Rapidly Toward New START Warhead Limit

By Hans M. Kristensen

The United States appears to be moving toward early implementation of the New START treaty signed with Russian less than one month ago.

The rapid implementation is evident in the State Department’s latest fact sheet, which declares that the United States as of December 31, 2009, deployed 1,968 strategic warheads.

Current pace of U.S. strategic warhead downloading could reach New START limit in 2010.


The New START force level of 1,550 deployed strategic warheads is not required to be reached until 2017 at the earliest. But at the current downloading rate, the United States could reach the limit before the end of this year.

Since the signing of the Moscow Treaty in 2002, the United States has removed an average of 490 warheads each year from ballistic missiles and bomber bases, for a total of approximately 3,436 warheads. There are now only a few hundred strategic warheads left at U.S. bomber bases, with most of the deployed warheads concentrated on ballistic missiles.

The last time the United States deployed less than 2,000 strategic warheads was in 1956. The peak was nearly 12,790 deployed strategic warheads in 1987.

The rapid downloading of U.S. strategic forces illustrates....(read more)
