How Maze Runner works

A small real-time simulation updates movement, collision, and score on every animation frame. The run safely pauses when the page is hidden. Restart creates a clean state without reloading the page, and optional records remain on this device.

Accessibility and devices

The game uses visible text feedback in addition to color. Controls are keyboard-focusable, touch targets are at least 44 pixels, and motion is reduced when your system requests it.
