CHOOSE YOUR HUNTER

  • 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.

EVERY POTION IS A TINY GAMBLE

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.

WATCH OUT FOR BONES & APPLES

Eat or break them to sway the match in your favor.

INTERACTIVE CHAOS

Push, break, press, and be squashed by.

20+ SEMI-PROCEDURALLY GENERATED LEVELS WITH 1000s of VARIATIONS

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.
