About Maze Runner
Navigate from the top-left maze start to the flag near the bottom-right while tracking completion time. Level 1 generates an 11×11 maze; dimensions increase by two per level and cap at 21×21.
The maze is carved with a depth-first backtracking generator from cell (1,1). A one-second interval tracks elapsed time until the flag is reached.
How to Play Maze Runner
1Use Arrow keys or WASD, or swipe, to move one open cell at a time.
2Follow open corridors toward the flag at the opposite side of the maze.
3After reaching the flag, press Next Level to generate the next maze.
Maze Runner Rules
- Movement into a wall is ignored and does not change position.
- The timer stops when the player reaches the goal flag.
- Next Level increases the level and creates a new maze; the button itself is not gated by an automatic completion requirement.
Maze Runner Game Mechanics
Objective
Navigate from the top-left maze start to the flag near the bottom-right while tracking completion time.
Round End
A level is marked complete when the player reaches the flag; there is no failure state or move limit.
- Level 1 generates an 11×11 maze; dimensions increase by two per level and cap at 21×21.
- The maze is carved with a depth-first backtracking generator from cell (1,1).
- A one-second interval tracks elapsed time until the flag is reached.
- Level and time are session-only; this runtime does not persist best times or highest level.
Tips & Strategies
- At junctions, remember which branch you have already tested so you do not repeatedly backtrack into the same dead end.
- On larger mazes, use the goal's general bottom-right direction only as orientation; walls still require local route finding.
