Just stumbled upon Maze Craze Trucker from “Entertaining Games inc”. This cartoonishly designed maze game puts you in the driver’s seat of a truck and has you racing around town making deliveries and collecting money. The game design is similar to a pac-man game, you view the truck from above , steer it through the maze and avoid the incoming traffic. Each maze level has a money goal that you must meet in a certain time period before advancing to the next map.
You use the accelerometer to control the truck , by tilting left and right you steer and by tilting forward or back you accelerate / brake. You also have a horn button used to clear the road in front of you so you don’t collide with other trucks. You can’t spam the button because it requires the buildup of air pressure.
Throughout the maze you find several items , money that you have to collect, bank icons where you drop of loads and power up bonuses that freeze the clock. There is also a minimap with GPS that shows the location of these items so you can easily find them.
FEATURES from the producer’s website :
* Addictive arcade style gaming with a intuitive tilt interface for steering and speed

Hey, it was great to watch a fresh person play the game.
A few hints - go faster!! The game is all about putting the pedal to the metal. Tilt it forward and go as fast as possible. It is possible to get THOUSANDS of points per level.
Load up the truck with cash, and drop off at the bank as seldom as possible.
Use the GPS and HUD to know where to find cash, bank, and the power-up. You will want to use the power-up as often as possible - it freezes the clock.
