Tomb Of The Mask is a vertical arcade game where players navigate a pixel-style maze filled with traps, walls, and collectibles. The main character wears a mysterious mask that allows them to climb walls and move at high speed in any direction. Each level is constructed as a small puzzle, where precision and timing are key to survival. The pace is fast, and the structure is designed to encourage quick reactions and memorization of hazards.
Movement and hazard design
Players move through the levels by swiping in one of four directions, causing the character to dash until they hit an obstacle. This control system means there is no gradual movement—only instant direction changes. Each maze includes spikes, moving traps, and enemies, all requiring the player to anticipate danger. Some levels include sections that force fast thinking, as rising elements push the player forward or restrict time.
Core features and gameplay loop
The game blends arcade mechanics with maze solving and adds challenges along the way:
· Swipe-based movement with instant stops
· Static and dynamic obstacles across the map
· Collectibles that unlock upgrades or new masks
· Score tracking through coins and stage completion
· Timed levels in endless mode with rising hazards
These elements combine to form a game where progress depends on both speed and accuracy.
Level progression and unlockables
There are two primary modes: level mode and endless mode. Level mode presents pre-designed stages with increasing difficulty. Endless mode continues until the player fails, making it ideal for those seeking high scores. As players collect coins, they can purchase new masks that offer bonuses, such as coin multipliers or temporary shields. These upgrades don’t change the controls but add strategic layers to gameplay.
Style and visual structure
Tomb Of The Mask uses a retro-inspired aesthetic with bright colors, pixel graphics, and minimalistic animations. The visuals are designed to be readable even at high speed, which supports the quick-paced gameplay. Sound effects and background music reinforce the arcade feel. The simple design helps keep focus on the path ahead, where a wrong move can lead to instant failure.
