Maze Escape

You are lost deep inside an ancient stone labyrinth and the only light you have is the lantern in your hand. Every maze is generated fresh, so nobody can memorise the way out: you see only as far as your flame reaches, and everything you have already walked past stays in your memory as a dim outline. Find every key hidden in the corridors to unlock the exit gate, then get back to it before the wick runs out. The lantern is your clock. It burns down the whole time you are playing, and as it fades your circle of light shrinks around you until you are feeling your way along the walls. Torches scattered through the maze refill it, so a run is a constant gamble between exploring for what you need and hurrying towards what you have already found. You are not alone down there. Stone golems walk fixed patrol routes and will crush you if you turn a corner into one. Ghostly wisps drift the corridors until they catch sight of you, then chase - they are slower than you are, but only just, and losing them means using the junctions. From the fourth maze onwards iron spikes punch up out of the floor on a timer, and a moment of bad rhythm sends you all the way back to the entrance. FEATURES - 12 hand-tuned mazes that grow from 15x11 to 33x23 tiles, generated fresh every single run - A real line-of-sight lighting system: walls cast shadows, corridors reveal themselves one corner at a time - An explored-area map that fills in as you walk, plus map scrolls that chart the entire labyrinth at once - Two kinds of guardian with completely different behaviour - patrolling golems and hunting wisps - Timed spike traps, hidden crystals for bonus points and torches that keep your run alive - Scoring that rewards speed and clean play: maze bonus, leftover lantern bonus and a never-caught bonus - Best score tracking and a local top-10 leaderboard - Keyboard on desktop, a full d-pad plus free drag control on phones and tablets.
