Game Moonlight Mazes

Gameplay

Using arrow keys or mouse the player has to direct Buster and D.W. through a corn maze. The player can only see the immediate area around the children. The object of each level is to collect three rocks, one animal, and find the exit to the maze.

There are 12 mazes in total, and they can be played in any order. Each level also shares 1 'fun fact' and something 'D.W. Thinks' about the rock.

Level Animal to Collect Rocks to Collect "Fun Fact" "D.W. Thinks..."
1 Northern Green Frog Red Calcite When northern green frogs are underwater, they breathe through their skin. The rocks are as beautiful as a susnet.
2 Luna Moth Orange Calcite Adult luna moths don't have mouths. The rocks are as amazing as a shooting star.
3 Five Lined Skink Yellow Calcite Young skinks have blue tails. The rocks are as bright as birthday candles.
4 Cicada Blue Calcite Some cicadas come back every year. They show up in late June or August. The rocks are as sparkly as Uni's eyes.
5 Northern Green Frog Green Calcite Northern green frogs' bulging eyes help them see really well. The rocks are as sparkly as a glitter pen.
6 Luna Moth Celestite Luna moths are most active around midnight. The rocks are as blue as the ocean.
7 Five Lined Skink Flint Skinks eat large insects like beetles and crickets, plus spiders. The rocks are as perfect as the perfect snowball.
8 Cicada Flourite Some cicadas show up only once every 13 or 17 years. The rocks are as beautiful as a pony's mane.
9 Northern Green Frog Green Quartz Northern green frogs have eardrums on the sides of their heads, but no ears. The rocks are as magical as a firefly.
10 Luna Moth Pink Quartz Female luna moths can lay over 600 eggs in a week. The rocks are as spectacular as a diamond castle.
11 Five Lined Skink Yellow Quartz Skinks can drop their tails off to help them escape, then grow them back. The rocks are as pretty as Nadine's ponytail.
12 Cicada Purple Quartz Cicadas make a loud buzzing sound that can be heard a mile away. The rocks are as shiny as a golden crown.

Trivia[]

  • The animals that appear in the game are northern green frogs, luna moths, five-lined skinks, and cicadas. Each appears in three mazes. When collecting an animal, you get a tidbit of information about it.
  • There is a scene in the special and which Buster and D.W. go out into the yard at night, with Buster wearing borrowed pajamas that are too big for him. However, they do not enter the cornfields. The special also shows that cousin Ryder collects animals in jars, and the skink annoys D.W. several times.
  • There are only four animals to collect, so after completing levels 1-4, you will 're-collect' the animal again, but the 'fun fact' will be different each time.
