Lost in Labyrinth

Lost in Labyrinth is an arcade roguelike where you guide a lost soul through procedurally generated mazes. Every maze is unique. Your energy drains with every step. If it runs out, you lose a life.

CORE GAMEPLAY

• Navigate grid-based mazes that grow larger and more dangerous each level
• Collect food (fruit, chicken, tuna) to sustain your energy before it runs out
• Gather coins for extra lives — every 10 coins earns a bonus heart, also these coins allows you to buy special items in the shop
• Find keys (metallic, copper, gold) to unlock treasure chests with valuable loot
• Rest when idle to slowly recover energy — at the cost of score points

HAZARDS (progressive difficulty)

• Water (Level 2+) — increased energy drain per step
• Lava (Level 3+) — heavy energy drain, even while standing still
• Poison (Level 4+) — timed status effect with passive drain and movement slowdown
• Spikes (Level 5+) — timed wound with passive drain and movement slowdown
• Bats (Level 2+) — fly erratically and attack when you pick up items

MYSTICAL ELEMENTS

• Agmuth — a mysterious artifact that lets you phase through one wall
• Threia's Blessing — rapidly pray (H key) with a sacred totem to restore a lost life
• Mystic Compass — a rare pickup whose needle always points to the exit
• Ancient Manuscripts — 30 lore fragments hidden across the mazes

THE SHOP

Coins persist after death. Spend them on 11 items between runs:

• Heart Potion — auto-restores a life when you'd lose one
• Tear of Threia — prevents game over, restoring all hearts
• Elemental Ring — immunity to lava, water, and poison
• Threia's Guide — chance to reveal the entire maze each level
• Totem of the Voracious — magnetically attracts nearby food

 ...and more pendants, rings, and consumables.
