About
After surviving a brutal storm at sea, Simon Rhodes awakens on a mysterious island ruled by a sprawling hedge maze and its terrifying inhabitants.
Blast your way through relentless enemies, conserve your limited bullets, and survive as long as you can in this retro-inspired top-down arcade challenge.
Choose between Normal Play for a gradual challenge or Difficult Play for instant chaos. Achieve your highest score across both modes!
Features
- Evade, shoot, or outmaneuver monsters in a top-down hedge maze.
- From invisible ghosts to relentless werewolves, each foe behaves uniquely.
- Three grenades – A last-resort panic button to clear the screen when overwhelmed.
- Four maze layouts to choose from.
Two difficulty modes:
- Normal Play – Easier start, progressive difficulty ramp.
- Difficult Play – Instant chaos. All enemies are aggressive from the start.
- Separate high score tables for each mode.
- Inspired by 2nd generation “Stalker/Cavern” games of the early 1980s.
There are no maps, no allies, and no way to fight forever. How long can you last before the hedge consumes you?
