Roll. Collect. Escape.
A cozy pixel-art maze game for iPhone. Roll a ball through 30 mazes across 6 worlds. Collect every coin to reveal the key, then slip through a hidden door.
Ball Maze was designed and built by a 9-year-old (3rd grade) using Claude Code, an AI coding assistant — every world, every maze, the keys and the hidden doors. Dad helped get it onto the App Store. It’s a real game made by a real kid, one idea at a time.
