Simply move a slider from "very easy" mazes to "very hard" mazes, without worrying about all the details of how it works. * Maze-Phrase! You can add a word or phrase, and it will be laid along the solution path, with decoy letters along the wrong (dead-end) paths. * Customize the cell wall colors and thicknesses, and even make them wiggly for that hand-drawn look. * Turn on "Progress Animation" to watch the maze get built, step by step. * Easy printing of the maze and/or solution right to your printer. * Export high-quality images of your mazes and solution keys for layout/publishing in your own books, newsletters, social media/web/blog, games, classroom handouts, or CNC/laser-cutter machines. Supports PDF, PNG, JPEG, SVG, ESP File, and POV-Ray file formats. * Save a "snapshot" your custom layout settings so you can instantly build other mazes with the same "look". * Mazes will always be built with only one guaranteed solution, no islands here! * Work without a net... you never need an internet connection to create, save, and print your mazes. * Supports Dark Mode and Full-Screen mode. * Save your maze files and share them with other Minos Maze Maker users, or open them again later to edit them to create whole new mazes. * Comprehensive built-in 60+ page User Guide, containing tutorials and tips and describing every option, getting you up-to-speed right away.
