Procedural Mazes
Every level generates a brand-new, 100% solvable labyrinth using iterative DFS. The grid grows from 10×10 to 24×24, so no two runs ever share a layout.

Game Modes & Arenas
Three rule sets, one pre-game setup screen. Pick a runner, pick an arena, and the clock starts on your first move.
Classic Arena
Progressive challenge — drones join at Level 2, locked keys appear at Level 3, and fog of war rolls in at Level 5.
Chase Arena
High-intensity survival with patrolling chaser drones active right from Level 1. No fog, but an extra hunter and a faster cadence.
Shadow Maze
Hardcore stealth mode where fog of war covers the maze from Level 1 with only a faint exit beacon to guide you through the dark.

Characters & Collectible Tools
