Simple to play, hard to stop playing!
- There are 6 questions above each maze that you need to answer in the correct order. The answers to these questions are in the oxygen bubbles inside the maze. Watch and listen as the question pops up for each question too!

- Tilt your iPad to steer your spaceman around the maze and hit the correct answer bubbles, BUT, watch out for the ice aliens! If they freeze you three times, it’s game over.

- Each correct answer boosts Sam’s oxygen level. He needs a full tank to get on the rocket.

- Each maze has a time limit. If you run out of time, it’s game over. Your best time to escape each maze is saved. Why not challenge your friends and family to beat you?

- There are 5 possible maze variations per level. The questions and answers change each time you play.

- Help is only a tap away! There’s picture, word and audio support for the level you are playing anytime.
