I decided to give a try to this free game, and it turned out to be a pretty good, unusual game.

Right from the beginning you see quite unusual game menu, I can't say it's convenient, but it's unusual.
I like graphics of this game, it's simple but kinda good - I guess that's why "20 Small Mazes" catched my eye.
There is no music in this game. Sounds are good - a bit relaxing {birds' chirping, wind blowing, etc}.

I liked the puzzles. There are several interesting and logical puzzles. It's really not only about mazes, but about several puzzles, and some of them were pretty cool {I wouldn't play a game just with mazes, because it would be too simple, childish and uninteresting}.

I beat the game in 80 minutes, and encountered only 1 small bug - with the "jigsaw" maze: there are 9 pieces to join with each other by their "right" sides, and sometimes when you rotate the piece often, its place becomes not gray but white, so you can't place it back. It turns gray again only if you move some other piece close to it {in corresponding rotation position}.

You can track down your progress by the progress bar on one of the windows. It's pretty useful, because you can lose something {but it's hard tbh} by constantly dragging the windows right&left or up&down. Each "puzzling maze" takes place on 1 or 2 windows.

I didn't quite understand only the answer to the "treasure digging" maze: when I noticed the clue, I thought that I need to count the number of squares from start point to the "X" mark and then divide it by 2. But it turned out that the treasure was hidden several squares BEFORE "total number of squares divided by 2", or maybe I just miscalculated idk :) I began to dig on each square of the route and eventually found the treasure.

I found that the only thing {or "window"} that has no use but moveable is the cloud :) Maybe it's possible to come up with some use for it too :) Like for instance the player should cover the sun with this cloud so that rain falls on the ground and something appears :) For example, a coin or a bone buried in the ground would appear, instead of just being obtained by holding the left mouse button on one of the windows.

In total: short but free and quite interesting game. If you want to spend 1-2 hours by solving not hard, relaxing, maze related puzzles with logical solutions, then you can check this game out.
