Maze Architect — Casual Maze Game Level Editor

Design complex, multi-elevation labyrinths with locked gates, switches, and secret paths:

Draw Tools: Use Pencil to paint tiles, Fill for flood filling open areas, and Eraser to clear cells back to open floor.
Active Layer: Switch between Ground (0) and Overhead (1) to build multi-tier structures.
Visual Themes: Switch tilesets on the fly (Dungeon, Jungle, Molten, Snow, Cave, Sunset) with distinct color schemes and wall trim styles.

Bridges allow pathways to cross over and under each other without intersecting:

Bridge EW (B_EW): Ground level runs East-West under the bridge; Overhead level runs North-South across the bridge deck.
Bridge NS (B_NS): Ground level runs North-South under the bridge; Overhead level runs East-West across the bridge deck.
Directional Ramps (R_N, R_S, R_E, R_W): Smoothly transition the player between Ground (0) and Overhead (1). Step in the ramp's arrow direction to climb; step backwards to descend. Side entry is blocked to prevent floating.

Bridge EW (B_EW) Elevation Crossing

Overhead path runs North-South; Ground tunnel runs East-West underneath.

Bridge NS (B_NS) Elevation Crossing

Overhead path runs East-West; Ground tunnel runs North-South underneath.

Create non-linear puzzle progression with color-coded keycards and gates:

Place Gold, Ruby (Red), Sapphire (Blue), Emerald (Green), or Amethyst (Purple) keys.
Place matching locked doors. Use the Inspect Tool (🔍) to configure door requirements, customize colors, or link custom key IDs.

Wire switches to open secret passages or raise barriers:

Place a Lever (🕹️), then inspect it with the Inspect Tool.
Click "+ Pick Target Tile" and click any tile on the canvas to link it.
Configure State A (Active / Pulled) and State B (Inactive / Rest) tile types (e.g. Floor ↔ Wall).
Click "⚡ Toggle Preview" to test the mechanism live right in the editor!

Test your labyrinth efficiently without playing from the beginning every time:

Click "🧪 Test Config" or press T to open Playtest Configuration.
Choose a Custom Test Spawn Coordinate to drop your player directly into a specific chamber or high-elevation bridge.
Check Starting Inventory keys to preload keys into your backpack so you can test late-game doors immediately.
