Ship v Maze is anew arcade title from Belgium-based studio Cosmic Droplet that will launch on Steam on April 2nd, 2026. The developer has described Ship v Maze as a minimalist and endlessly replayable arcade game, and it will be priced at $3.99. Ship v Maze is a stripped-down reflex challenge game where players will guide their ship through increasingly complex mazes using just two inputs: turning left or turning right.

Inspired by early 80s arcade aesthetics, the game pairs a striking visual style with brutally simple mechanics. One mistake ends your run, but the urge to try again is irresistible. It’s a test of precision, timing, and nerves – perfect for players chasing high scores and flawless execution.

“I love playing short, frantic, stressful games that you just don’t want to stop playing.” Shared solo developer Frederic Vanmol. “Where you know you’ll make stupid mistakes but still convince yourself you won’t. This is my attempt at such a game. I hope you’ll find it both fun and frustrating!”

Key features:

Navigate your ship through complex and challenging mazes. You only have two options: turn left or turn right. There’s no acceleration, no braking, just pure, unadulterated navigation.

Compete against yourself and strive for improvement. Every run is a chance to beat your previous score and delve deeper into the treacherous labyrinth.

Embrace the challenge, hone your skills, and see how far you can go in this addictive experience!
