About this game

                                

After surviving a brutal storm at sea, Simon Rhodes awakens on a mysterious island ruled by a sprawling hedge maze and its terrifying inhabitants. 

Blast your way through relentless enemies, conserve your limited bullets, and survive as long as you can in this retro-inspired top-down arcade challenge. 

Choose between Normal Play for a gradual challenge or Difficult Play for instant chaos. Achieve your highest score across both modes! 

 

Features 

  • Evade, shoot, or outmaneuver monsters in a top-down hedge maze. 

  • From invisible ghosts to relentless werewolves, each foe behaves uniquely. 

  • Three grenades – A last-resort panic button to clear the screen when overwhelmed. 

  • Four maze layouts to choose from.

  • Two difficulty modes: 

    • Normal Play – Easier start, progressive difficulty ramp.

    • Difficult Play – Instant chaos. All enemies are aggressive from the start. 

  • Separate high score tables for each mode. 

  • Inspired by 2nd generation “Stalker/Cavern” games of the early 1980s. 

 

There are no maps, no allies, and no way to fight forever. How long can you last before the hedge consumes you?
