HOW IT PLAYS • Swipe in any direction. One thumb, no buttons • Swipe early and the turn is held until the corridor opens • Reach the exit to clear the level • Every maze is generated fresh, so you can't memorise your way out 10 WORLDS Ruined Temple, Frozen Crypt, Desert Tomb, Candy Keep, Lava Forge, Spooky Crypt, Forest Grove, Sunken Reef, Crystal Caverns and Sky Ruins.
