* ''Lock 'n' Chase''

Differing from the stereotypical top-down maze game what could be called the Platform Maze Game. They superficially resemble {{Platform Game}}s and are often mistaken for them, but there are major differences in how they play. The biggest difference is that platform maze games aren't about jumping; one can only ascend to a higher platform where the architecture allows, usually by taking ladders, and falling negates horizontal movement. Platform maze games also resemble maze games more in enemy placement and behavior, and generally have compact levels not designed for exploration. Several freeware flash games include "mouse maze game" subgenre where player has to guide a mouse from point A to B without touching the walls.

* ''The Scary Maze Game'', a.k.a. The ScreamerPrank masquerading as a legitimate maze game, as shown in the image above.

* ''VideoGame/MrDo!'s Castle''

The computer will control other characters in the maze, who [[CollisionDamage will kill you if they touch you]]. Sometimes they are set to fixed patterns; sometimes they move more or less randomly; sometimes they try to track you, probably with some degree of ArtificialStupidity. They will not be able to go through the walls, either. Not even if [[PacMan they are ghosts]]. They have a tendency to [[RespawningEnemies respawn]] in inconvenient locations in the games where eliminating all of them from the level isn't the objective.
