Overgrowth

How to Play

• Everyone gets the same 25×25 field every day. It resets at 00:00 UTC, for everyone, at once.
• The whole board is visible at once, always — nothing is fogged, no camera to follow.
• Scattered around the maze are spore colonies — but nothing marks where they are. The moment you take your first step, whichever ones are already present start spreading outward through the open corridors in bursts: growing for a few seconds, pausing for a few seconds, then growing again. You'll only find out where a colony is by seeing it spread.
• New colonies keep appearing as the run goes on, in addition to the ones already growing — the danger doesn't stay fixed at whatever existed on move one.
• Whatever ground a colony has already covered stays covered — it never retreats, healed, or resets.
• Touch a cell a colony has reached and you're consumed — straight back to the start of this attempt, same maze, same colonies starting fresh.
• The maze is always solvable in principle without ever touching a colony — but there's no waiting this one out. Speed matters here in a way it doesn't in Caldera or Permafrost.
• Find the coral exit.
• Colonies spread faster and there are more of them later in the week — Monday's the easiest, Sunday's the hardest. Pick a level, Beginner through Extreme.
• Use arrow keys or swipe to move. Come back daily to build your streak.
