Yeah, you need a Mac to build for iOS and I have neither

The main problem with mazes on mobile phones is that this type of controls does not work.
I cannot see the path under my finger, and even with a stylus it's still pain in the ass.
And too many ads. Considering each level takes only a few seconds to solve, it deters from playing any further.
Another big problem is Unity. Everyone loves unity and uses it on every occasion they can. Be it as primitive as tetris or a maze game, or friggin' sudoku - it's always unity and always resource overuse (makes my Nokia 8 warm up like I'm playing a 3D-heavy Injustice 2 or Real Racing 3).
It takes about a day of honest coding to write it from scratch in Java, and you could make it about 10+ times smaller which will improve your download base, save resources and will definitely help you out in understanding what you are doing and how to make it better.

Regarding the controls - you can think of it as testing and training your finger coordination. Everyone I have seen had trouble keeping their finger on track, but improved later on

The ads are their only to show that I could implement them correctly.

Well, I wanted to do it in Unity, learned a lot. Could optimize a lot here as well, but chose not to so that this is finally done and out of the door.

this is sweet!

I think it would benefit from a control dpad (it runs well on the s8+ but i can see it being a problem on smaller phones).

A control element that quickly moves to the next junction, and then a time element to try and beat a specific time.
