Maze chase

English Word Maze.

Medium

Look at the picture clue, then steer your dot through the maze to the tile that carries the right English word. A wrong tile costs a heart, and so does the chaser — but it is slower than you, and it only starts after a few seconds.

How to play

Read the English word at the top — that is the clue.
Four tiles, each with a Chinese word, are hidden around the maze. Steer your dot to the tile that matches the clue: swipe on the maze, tap beside your dot, or use the arrow keys or WASD. The dot keeps going until it reaches a wall.
The right tile scores and is read out loud; the maze then fills with new tiles for the next clue. A wrong tile costs a heart and shows you the right word, but the clue stays and you can still finish it.
A chaser starts after a few seconds and follows your dot, slower than you. If it touches you it costs a heart, then it goes back to the far side of the maze and waits again — and you are safe for a moment.
Clear six clues before your five hearts run out. The chaser gets a little faster with every clue.

Swipe on the maze in the direction you want to go, or tap on the side of your dot you want to move towards. Your dot keeps going until it reaches a wall or you steer it again.

What does the chaser do?

It starts a few seconds after the round begins and follows your dot at a slower speed. A touch costs one heart, then it returns to the far side of the maze and waits again, and you cannot be touched again for a moment.
