The game

You are trapped in a maze of high voltage power fences and posts. There are also killer robots trying to destroy you.

Your only hope is to lure the robots into a fence or each other to destroy them.

If things get hopeless, you can do a mega jump, but you could end up anywhere, including on top of a power fence or a robot!

Keys

Use the numpad to move, even diagonally. Use J to jump and 0 to pass a round.

7   8   9   J - Jump
  \ | /     0 - Pass
4 - * - 6
  / | \
1   2   3   Q - Quit
