MUMBAI: BBC Worldwide has announced that the ‘Doctor Who‘ mobile game, Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time, is now available on the Android platform. This is the first time that BBC Worldwide has created a game for the Android market.

Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time pits the Doctor and his faithful companion Amy Pond against his most enemies including the Cybermen, Daleks and Silurians. Players must use both characters to find their way out of devilish mazes without falling foul of the various traps and monsters that await them.
