About This Game
Lost in a pitch-black maze with only a tiny pool of light — and every step spends a piece of your life. You start at the center of a randomly generated labyrinth with a strict step budget: the game measures the shortest route to the exit, then grants you that distance times 1.5 plus 15 steps of slack, so escape is always mathematically possible but never generous.
Your lamp reveals only a few tiles around you, while everywhere you have walked stays faintly lit, slowly sketching a map of your wanderings. Gold coins refill five steps apiece, and the greedy question — is that side corridor worth the detour? — is the heart of every run.
Clear a stage and the next maze grows dramatically, from a cozy 11x11 grid toward a sprawling 71x71, with your score counting every exit you reach.
Part navigation puzzle, part resource management, and entirely about staying calm in the dark — ideal for players who trust nerves and map sense over fast fingers.
Game Tips
- 🚪 The exit is always on the maze's edge — feel your way along the outside
- 🪙 Each coin is +5 steps — a nearby coin pays even with a detour
- 🗺️ Paths you've lit stay visible — no wandering the same corridor twice!
