The rules
- Arrows are one way. Pushing against one is a mistake and costs a heart by default. You can switch that to "block only" in Settings.
- Stay on the corridor. Dragging the pointer sideways out of the corridor is a WRONG PATH: you lose a heart and restart from your last checkpoint.
- Checkpoints appear from the mid levels onwards, so a mistake deep in a big maze does not send you back to the start.
- Three hearts, then GAME OVER. Retrying the level refills them.
- Dead ends are free. Wandering into one costs nothing but time.
Scoring and stars
Score starts at 1000, then adds a bonus for remaining hearts and for beating the par time, and subtracts for time, wasted moves, mistakes and hints. The total is multiplied by the level's difficulty.
| Stars | Requirement |
|---|---|
| ★★★ | No mistakes, inside 1.4× the par time, without wandering much off the route |
| ★★☆ | At most one mistake, inside 2.4× the par time |
| ★☆☆ | Level completed |
Hints reduce your score. They never change your star rating.
Difficulty tiers
| Tier | Levels | Maze size | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| EASY | 1 – 15 | 12×12 → 18×18 | Straight corridors, few arrows, generous pointer tolerance |
| NORMAL | 16 – 40 | 18×18 → 30×30 | More turns, first checkpoints, more one-way gates |
| HARD | 41 – 90 | 30×30 → 40×40 | Loops and false routes, tighter tolerance, faster marker |
| SUPER HARD | 91 – 250 | 40×40 → 53×53 | Dense arrows, long routes, camera follows and you pan |
| EXTREME | 251 – 500 | 53×53 → 62×62 | Everything at maximum, short trail, minimal margin for error |
Modes
Daily challenge
One unique maze per calendar day, seeded from the date. Keeps its own best score and streak.
Time attack
The same maze with a centisecond clock. Only your personal record matters.
Endless
Procedural mazes that get harder every step until you run out of hearts.
Looking around a big maze
The view shows the whole maze whenever the cells stay readable. Past that point the camera follows your dot and a small minimap appears in the corner with a rectangle showing which slice you are looking at.
- Drag the background to look around. Pressing the dot still grabs it, so play is never disturbed.
- Scroll or two-finger drag to pan;
Ctrl+wheel or pinch to zoom. - + / − buttons on the canvas, or the
+and-keys. - ⦿ (or
0) snaps back to the automatic view, centred on your dot. - Following resumes on its own when your dot is about to leave the screen.
Hints
When you are properly stuck, press HINT (or H). The game pauses and asks
for a hint code from the hint page. Codes are 7 characters like
K7F2-QMX and change every 60 seconds.
- One code unlocks one hint: your dot walks itself to the next junction or checkpoint.
- Three hints per level attempt. Restarting the level restores the allowance.
- Codes work once, and the code from the minute before or after is also accepted.
- Hints cost score, never stars.
- Your maze is saved while you fetch the code, so nothing is lost if the popup closes.
- If every code is rejected, check that your computer clock is correct.
