Alarm Line — Micro Playtest

A tiny solo route-planning experiment: collect value, but each corridor locks behind you. Can you still get out?

I'm testing one narrow mechanic in a tiny browser game.

You start at S, try to reach X or Y within 8 moves, and every corridor you use locks permanently behind you. Rooms marked * add score.

The specific thing I want to learn is:

Did any move make you genuinely pause because taking more value conflicted with keeping a safe escape route?

If you replayed, it is also useful to know whether the second run felt meaningfully different or whether the puzzle already felt solved.

I just published a very small browser-based mechanics test called Alarm Line.

You start at S and must escape through X or Y within 8 moves. Every corridor you use locks behind you, so grabbing more value can remove an escape option you may need later.

It is free, requires no account, and is intentionally tiny - one map and one short ruleset.

This is an early mechanics test rather than a finished game.
