Guide a mage through winding fantasy mazes, gather the treasure, and reach the portal before time runs out. DRAW YOUR PATH Trace a route with one finger and the mage follows it as you draw, leaving a trail of fire. Tap for a quick straight-line dash. Every coin you walk over is yours; every corner you cut leaves gold behind. CHOOSE YOUR MAZE Each level offers three mazes: a Quick run, a Standard challenge, and a Perilous gauntlet with a bigger payout. Mazes come as squares, rings, crosses, diamonds and ellipses, and grow slowly so the fun comes from what's inside them. HAZARDS, KEYS AND PORTALS Spiders bite. Orcs rob you. Webs slow you down. Fog hides the way. Colored gates need their matching key, hidden somewhere earlier in the maze, and paired portals throw you across the map. Higher levels turn every run into a plan. SPEND YOUR GOLD Coins buy permanent upgrades: speed, health, regeneration, a coin magnet and sharper eyes in the fog. Or spend them on one-use tricks: walk through a wall, teleport, lift the fog, or an elixir that brings you back once. WEEKLY CHALLENGE Seven new mazes every Monday with Game Center leaderboards. You're ranked against players with a similar level of upgrades, and a run without tricks always beats one with them. Warm 8-bit-inspired sound, a muted reel-to-reel soundtrack, and art in the spirit of the fantasy paperbacks of the seventies. Free to play, with optional coin packs, character skins, and an ad-free subscription. Ad-Free is an auto-renewing subscription, offered weekly, monthly or yearly.
