The teleporters connect the worlds. Blue teleporters will bring you to the world below the one you are currently in and the orange ones will bring you to the world above.\r\n\r\nThe mazes are randomly generated. Once you have beaten a maze, the difficulty increases and the next one will be bigger.\r\n\r\nFor the desktop version: F2 saves a screenshot next to the jar file, F11 toggles fullscreen mode.\r\n\r\nTechnical notes:\r\n\r\nThe online version requires WebGL and the desktop version requires Java.
