JIG: What springs to mind when someone says the word "maze"? Probably not an image of a butterfly dancing along a series of colored tiles to the sound of piano keys. Sergey Mohov, on the other hand, envisioned exactly that, turning the butterfly and piano vision into a gorgeously styled maze puzzle game by the name of Dédale. With music provided by Fractures, it is up to you to brave 100 levels of tile coloring, butterfly leading, maze escaping fun.
"The year 2012 had many good games, so many that we’ve decided to break up the best iOS and Android apps by genre! We’re days away from entering a new year, and unlike many sites out there, we waited till the last possible minute so we could check out all the indie games releasing in late December (and a few of them made the lists too!). So over the next couple days we’ll be releasing lists of our favorite games of 2012. If you disagree with any of our picks feel free to leave a comment below and tell us what indie game you thought should have been included! Here’s to another prosperous year in gaming for 2013!" - Charles Ferrendelli
Touch Arcade: Sergey Mohov's Dédale [ $0.99 ] is a game of wide open mazes set down with brilliant white tiles. You flit from tile to tile as a colorful butterfly, leaving your own trail of color behind you. It is, in a word, tranquil. It's also occasionally hair-tearingly frustrating, but only when you just can't win.
AppAdvice: What’s neat about this game is that it throws you right into the action without any tutorial or help menu. You’ll get the idea soon enough that you need to move the butterfly across every square wit
