Enjoy... and let me know how well you survive. New for April 2013 I offer the puff-ball puzzles. Don't be April fooled by their pink and fluffy appearance however, these little brainteasers still pack a punch. Also this month I tip-my-hat to Tom Cutrofello and his amazing Puzzle blog. Tom tirelessly seeks-out and reviews the best new puzzle apps, so the rest of us need never waste our quality puzzling time. Here is a very small sample of some of my recent favourites ... Brain Twirler, Tile'M All, Just Routes, Lazors, Puzzle Retreat, Tring, Blink Blox, Knight Moves, Blockwick 101.

Andrea - a potted history. As a child in the 70s I drew free-hand mazes, ever larger and ever more detailed, on 2D and then 3D surfaces. In the 80s I preferred form and structure, strong patterns that could be broken in small ways to produce elegant mazes. In the 90s I turned increasingly to rules and logic to add extra layers of complexity and push my skills to the limit. More and more I lent on my own (and others) software engineering skills to help create, prove and solve my mazes. In the late 90s the web, and in particular java, finally provided me with the perfect tools to launch and share my ideas, and opened up a whole new range of possibilities. The web-based, interactive puzzle-maze, or the clickmaze. Keep clicking and be amazed! Come back and visit soon, or follow clickmazes on twitter
