THREE ERAS. NINE ESCAPES.

Outrun your time.

Find the key. Fight your way to the gate.
Bring back something worth stealing.

A little survival guide

Move with arrows or WASD. Hold Space or J to shoot in the direction you're facing. On touchscreens, hold a direction and FIRE together. P or Escape pauses. Switching tabs pauses safely.

Choose Fantasy World, Western World or Hyperspace. Each has three mazes. Collect the yellow key, then reach the red timegate before time runs out. The mini-map shows the whole maze. A cleared gate returns you to the era selector.

Treasure = 100 points. Creatures score 50 to 200. Key = 200. Escape = 500 plus a time bonus. Three hits cost a life. Retrying resets that maze and its points. Power-ups hide in dead ends, so explore. Later mazes add brutes, phantoms and nests. Clear all nine gates to win.
