About the Game

In 《Signal Maze》, you can play with this system known as R.O.O.T. . Its operation is based on a combination of units. You can move the units around the operating panel. The units generate and transmit signals; the units are also connected and activated by signals.

🎉 After a year and a half of EA and multiple updates, the puzzle game Signal Maze (formerly known as R.O.O.T.) is finally 1.0 release on NOW, officially!

✨The Full Version includes all 150 tasks and adds multiple comic story contents to the some tasks (~30 tasks) for an immersive storytelling experience. As well as, 23 more, there are now a total of 33 Achievements for you to challenge!

🧩 At the same time, the game has added a variety of new gameplay mechanics and completed a large number of bug fixes and program optimizations to with smoother and richer puzzle solving fun. Thank you for your patience, now come and start this brand new puzzle journey! 💡

But don't forget, you don't have infinite amount of turns to move the units. In R.O.O.T. System, you have an infinite amount of time to think about your plan for each step, so make sure you take it wisely.

In this way, each unit is connected by signals into a link; the signals in these links activate more units in turn. The activated units generate a sum of income, and that is how to achieve the Goal!

You can save these revenue to complete missions; or you can use them to buy more units to expand your setup. How do you want to do it? It's all up to you!

It's not afraid that you won't make money, it's afraid that you won't dare to make money. The bolder you are, the more imcome you can get from the units.

In addition, you can also experience the exciting story with the protagonist, Port·Yang·Greffice, who just joins RavenTek as a new employee in the Remote Computing Division. Port's job is to manipulate the units on the R.O.O.T. system to help the company make a profit and fulfill the company's KPIs.

However, in this boring company's working life, Port with observant eyes notices that some of the company's public facilities have some unusual behavior, what? It seems to be in the cafeteria? Port and his hacker buddy, Esmond,

Those two young men decide to investigate the company's hidden secrets whether out of curiosity or a desire to make a few extra bucks. Will it go well? How will they end up? I'm afraid it won't be smooth sailing.

In any case, we invite you to join along with Port·Yang·Greffice to experience the elaborate puzzle and the ups and downs story in RavenTek!
