Overview

About this game

About:

In this space themed top down maze runner you play as Skippy who's racing to reach each maze's exit as fast as possible.

Find the fastest route to each level's exit.

Watch out for enemies, traps, anomalies and other deadly elements.

Unlock powerful skills during your play-through.

Optimize your route and skill selection to achieve the fastest possible time for each level.

Compare your time against the game's times as well as Steam friends and global leaderboards.

Experiment with the skill system:

Select 3 out of 15 skills when starting a level. Optimize your skill combination for each level and game mode.

Examples:

  • Freeze Nova: Freeze all enemies within range for a short time. While frozen, enemies can not harm you.

  • Tactical Beacon: Deploy a tactical beacon at your current location. While the beacon is active, use the skill again to teleport back to your beacon. The Tac Beacon is great to prevent backtracking or to create fast escape routes.

  • Stealth Field: Engage a Stealth Field that renders you invisible for enemy sensors. Using any skills will break the Stealth Field effect!

  • Losing Containment: Channel and release a ginormous amount of energy, killing everything in a huge blast radius.

  • Kinetic Impactors: Crash 3 asteroids at relativistic speed into the 3 enemies closest to you.

Skills will be unlocked during a play-through. Some of which with the potential to make your play-through a lot safer, others with the potential to achieve faster times on the leaderboards.

Beat all the levels:

  • One overworld connecting 6 sectors with 6 handcrafted core levels each

  • Plus one optional dark/x0 level per sector

  • 42 playable levels total

  • Unlock new sectors by beating all core levels of a sector

  • Unlock new mechanics and skills with each sector

Play the game at your own pace:

3 modes for different player types:

  • In Time Attack mode you'll race the exit to compete against the game's tiers as well as global and friends leaderboards.

  • Hardcore mode offers the additional challenge of perma-death.

  • Relaxed mode removes the timer, tiers and leaderboards. Additionally it will slightly decrease difficulty by reducing the enemies' and traps' speed. Take as much time as you want for each level to have a chilled experience and still see all of the game's content.

Compete:

  • Separate leaderboards for each level and mode

  • Compete for each level's best time individually for Time Attack and Hardcore mode

  • Compare your times globally or with your friends only
