About Tomb of the Mask
Tomb of the Mask is a free arcade game in which you climb an endless vertical maze by launching yourself in straight lines. Your character travels until it hits a wall, so movement is a series of committed dashes rather than continuous steering — and the screen scrolls upward relentlessly behind you.
The movement model is what makes it distinctive. You cannot stop mid-dash or change direction in transit, so every input is a commitment to travel until something stops you. Planning two or three moves ahead is essential, because arriving in a corner with the wall rising behind you is fatal.
Hazards escalate as you climb: spikes, moving blocks, enemies that patrol fixed lines. The rising screen means hesitation is punished as harshly as a wrong move, which produces the game's characteristic tension between planning and speed. Coins and power-ups along the route give you reasons to take riskier lines.
How to play Tomb of the Mask
Swipe or press a direction to launch your character in a straight line until it hits a wall. Climb upward through the maze, avoiding spikes and enemies. The screen scrolls up continuously, so keep moving — being caught by the bottom of the screen ends the run.
Tips and strategy
- Plan two moves ahead. You cannot stop mid-dash, so the wall you arrive at determines your next option.
- Keep climbing even when coins tempt you sideways. The rising screen punishes detours harshly.
- Use enemies' fixed patrol lines to time your dashes rather than avoiding those corridors entirely.
- When in doubt, move up. A vertical dash always buys you time even if it costs you a pickup.
