How to Play?

Navigate the red dot through the maze to reach the exit, but watch out for tricky borders and unpredictable paddles! Here’s a detailed guide to help you master the game.

Objective

• Reach the Exit: Move the red dot along the white path to the orange exit.
• Avoid Obstacles: Steer clear of the blue borders and moving black paddles.

Gameplay Mechanics

1. Basic Controls:
   • Drag the red dot using your mouse or touch controls.
   • Keep the dot within the white path as you navigate the maze.
2. The Maze:
   • The maze is outlined by blue borders, which you must avoid touching.
   • The path twists and turns, requiring precision and patience to follow.
3. Moving Paddles (Pro Version):
   • Black Paddles move up and down within the maze.
   • Paddles have random starting positions and bounce off the top and bottom edges, reversing direction upon collision.
   • Paddles can overlap, making their movements harder to predict and increasing the challenge.
4. Timer:
   • A timer at the top of the screen tracks how long you’ve been playing the current game.
   • Use this as a personal benchmark to improve your speed and efficiency.
5. Restarting and New Games:
   • Restart the game at any time to try again with the current map.
   • Upon winning or losing, a new map is automatically loaded for your next attempt.
   • To skip to a fresh map mid-game, refresh the webpage.

Tips for Success

1. Master the Basics:
   • Practice navigating the white path without touching the blue borders to develop precision.
2. Watch the Paddles:
   • Observe the movements of the black paddles before proceeding. Their overlapping and random patterns can catch you off guard.
3. Time Your Moves:
   • Don’t rush! Wait for the paddles to create an opening and move decisively through the gap.
4. Stay Focused:
   • The unpredictability of overlapping paddles can be distracting—stay calm and focus on the timing of their movements.
5. Improve Your Speed:
   • Use the timer as motivation to complete the maze faster with each attempt. Balance speed with caution for best results.

Advanced Strategies

1. Anticipate Paddle Movements:
   • Study the bounce patterns of paddles. Knowing when and where they will overlap can help you plan safer routes.
2. Move in Small Increments:
   • In tight sections, progress slowly to maintain control and avoid accidental collisions.
3. Restart Strategically:
   • If you’re struggling with a particular map, restarting might give you a better chance to succeed.
4. Refresh for a New Challenge:
   • When you’re ready for a fresh start, refresh the webpage to load a new maze layout and paddle configuration.
