How to play Dark Maze

  1. Study the lit maze, then the lights go out. Swipe, drag or tap toward a direction (or use arrow keys) to walk one cell at a time.
  2. Reach the glowing stairs before your lantern oil runs out — every step burns oil. Spike traps only show in the preview: step on one and you lose a heart.
  3. Grab the gold key to open locked doors and amber flasks to refill oil. Mazes grow bigger, darker and trickier as you go.
  4. Peek re-lights the whole map for a moment. Upgrades widen the lantern, add oil and give extra Peeks.
