Maze Runner

Description

Maze Runner Challenge is an exciting, fast-paced game that tests your problem-solving skills and quick thinking. Navigate through a randomly generated maze, racing against the clock to reach the blue exit square. But beware! The maze is filled with obstacles that can only be removed by standing next to them for a short time. As you progress, the mazes become more challenging, with more obstacles to overcome.

Features:

  • Randomly generated mazes for endless variety
  • Timed challenges to test your speed
  • Unique obstacle removal mechanic
  • Increasing difficulty as you succeed
  • Score tracking to challenge yourself

How to Play

  1. Objective: Guide your red square from the starting position (top-left) to the blue exit (bottom-right) before time runs out.
  2. Controls:
    • Use the Arrow Keys to move your square:
      • Up Arrow: Move up
      • Down Arrow: Move down
      • Left Arrow: Move left
      • Right Arrow: Move right
    • Click on the game area first to ensure it’s focused and responsive to your key presses.
  3. Gameplay:
    • You have 30 seconds to complete each maze.
    • Black squares are walls or obstacles. You cannot move through them.
    • Some black squares are removable obstacles:
      • Stand next to an obstacle for 3 seconds to remove it.
      • A countdown will appear on the obstacle when you’re adjacent to it.
  4. Scoring:
    • Successfully reaching the blue exit square increases your score.
    • Each completed maze adds to your consecutive wins.
  5. Difficulty Progression:
    • The game starts with 50 obstacles.
    • Each time you complete a maze, the next one will have 10 more obstacles.
    • If you fail to complete a maze in time, the obstacle count resets to 50.
  6. Game Over:
    • The game ends when the 30-second timer runs out.
    • Your score resets, but you can immediately start a new game.
  7. Tips:
    • Plan your route carefully, considering which obstacles to remove.
    • Sometimes it’s faster to go around obstacles than to wait for them to disappear.
    • Keep an eye on the timer and pace yourself accordingly.

Challenge yourself to see how many mazes you can complete in a row. Can you handle the increasing difficulty? Good luck, Maze Runner!
