Maze
Maze Maker
Go through dangerous dungeons, collect emeralds and shoot enemies.
Collect ammo and Power-Ups to defeat your enemies easier.

Movement
Start moving by pressing [Up Arrow Key]. There is no way to stop! Once you start going, you go until you complete the level or until you are destroyed by enemies or you collide with a wall. You can turn using [Left Arrow Key] and [Right Arrow Key].
Shooting
You can shoot using [Spacebar Key]. You have very limited number of bullets when you start a stage, but you may find some additional bullets in the stage. You can use bullets to defeat enemies or to collect items. That's right! You can shoot emeralds and power-ups to pick them up.
Emeralds
Collect all emeralds to unlock the exit.
Enemies
Bouncers - They just bounce between walls horizontally or vertically and kill you on contact.
Checkpoints
On your way you can find big blue boxes. These are checkpoints, that you can grab only by going onto them. They cannot be captured by bullets. When you die, you spawn on the latest grabbed checkpoint. If you shoot and then die, you don't get your bullets back. However, you can always reset the stage by pressing [R Key].
Gates
Gates are represented by orange/yellow rectangles with keyholes. When you have a key, the gates turn yellow signifying that you can pass. You can shoot through gates.
View / Camera

You can view the whole stage by pressing [Tab Key].
