Strange Mazes | 3D Puzzle HTML5 Game

STRANGE MAZES is a short, atmospheric 3D puzzle game built with Three.js and WebAudio. Guide a glowing orb through 14 hand-designed mazes with the mouse alone. Each level introduces a single new idea — moving walls, the world slowly rotating, dim light, gates that open and close on a timer — and each of the six color worlds has its own palette, ambient sound, and music.

A 30-minute experience meant to be played in one sitting, then replayed for a deathless run or a faster time.

Highlights

• 14 hand-designed levels across 6 color worlds
• 9 unique gameplay modifiers (momentum, rotor, invert, dim, tether, hidden, wind, driftcam, gates)
• Mouse-only controls on desktop, full touch support on mobile
• Three persistent goals per level: best time, deathless run, and star rating (3 / 2 / 1)
• Save system in localStorage (no accounts, no servers, no third-party calls)
• Original art direction, original code, original sound — no third-party assets beyond the MIT-licensed Three.js library
• Drop on any static host, no build step, no database
• Full English documentation for buyers: 3,700-word HTML guide, plain-text README, plain-text LICENSE
• Source code is heavily commented and split into 12 small ES modules, easy to customize

What Makes It Different

Most “maze” items on CodeCanyon are 2D, top-down, square-grid affairs with a single look. STRANGE MAZES is fully 3D with a chase camera, real-time shadows, animated particle trails, and a cinematic title loop. The orb has weight, the camera has a soft follow, and the worlds have weather (the ember world is genuinely dark, the arctic world is genuinely cold-looking). It feels closer to a shipped mobile game than a JavaScript toy.

How It Works

The game is plain JavaScript. There is no build step, no npm install, no TypeScript, no bundler. The folder is unzipped onto a static web host, the buyer opens index.html, and the game plays.

The source is split into 12 small ES modules, each under 200 lines, each focused on one job:

For buyers who are not developers, the documentation walks them through the most common customizations step by step: changing a level’s name, adding a new level, applying a modifier, changing a world’s colors, replacing the page title, replacing the favicon. No JavaScript knowledge required for any of those.

Browser Support

WebGL 2 and WebAudio are required. Both are enabled by default in every browser above. The game has zero external network calls during play (other than loading its own files from your server).
