Star Maze

Every maze is random and has only one right path. The set is dark, your flashlight drains battery, and a paparazzi follows your trail: don't go anywhere you can't get out of.

Worlds and levels

Clear one level to unlock the next. Every take is a brand-new maze, so you never play the same one twice. Endless mode unlocks once you finish the first world.

How to play

  • Your star walks onto the set through the exit tape. Reach the golden star at the finish: there is only one good path, and the maze changes with every take.
  • The flashlight only lights up your immediate surroundings and drains battery. Batteries are off the right path: taking a wrong turn costs time, but without light you can't see the dead ends.
  • The paparazzi shows up after a while and steps exactly where you've been. If you stop, he moves closer; if you turn around in a long dead end, he'll catch you head-on. At the end of the take, he sprints.
  • The clapperboard counts down. If it hits zero or the paparazzo snaps your photo, you hear "CUT!" and get a new take with a different maze.

Move with the arrow keys or WASD (a single tap takes you to the next intersection), swipe like a joystick, or trace the path by dragging from your star.

Power-ups and dangers

  • Ariadne's Thread: unrolls a few meters of film along the right path (or toward the key you're missing). Each reel collected adds another thread.
  • Floor plan: shows the entire maze on a minimap for 10 seconds, with stars, keys and the paparazzi.
  • Incognito glasses: 6 seconds during which the paparazzi doesn't recognize you. Use them to pass him in a corridor.
  • Keys and gates in the garden, trapdoors that open to the beat in the castle, edit cuts that teleport you on the spaceship, and switches that open fake walls in the neon city.

Scoring and stars
