💥Interactive elements - things to push, break, press, and be squashed by
Treasure Hunters dash into the shadows to collect glowing chests.
Shadow Hunters chase them down and snatch points.
Each round drops you into a new maze-like level with a simple rule: move smart and fast or lose.
Smash barrels, pick up potions, and hope the magic is in a good mood.
You might run faster, lose your dash, light up the maze —
start a meteor shower —
freeze your opponents, and more. Some help you. Some make everything worse.
Over a dozen of opportunities to change the course of the match.
Eat or break them to sway the match in your favor.
Push, break, press, and be squashed by.
Each round drops you into a new maze-like level. Parts of each level are manually placed and parts are generated.
Wishlist now and get ready to chase—or be chased—in the dark.
