Wallquake

Race your pawn across the board while building walls to trap your opponent — just don't trust those walls to last.

How to play

Wallquake is a wall-building race for two sides. You and your rival each have a pawn that must reach the opposite edge of the grid first. On your turn you either step your pawn one square or drop a wall segment to lengthen the other side's path. The twist: every few turns a quake destroys a random wall on the board, so the maze you built can collapse at the worst moment.

• Each turn, move your pawn one square or place one wall.
• Walls block movement but can never completely seal a pawn off from its goal.
• Walls are limited, so spend them where they cost your opponent the most steps.
• A periodic quake removes a random wall — first pawn to reach the far side wins.

Controls

• Desktop (mouse + keyboard recommended): click a highlighted square to move; switch to Wall mode and click near a groove to place a wall. Press R to rotate a wall, and M or W to swap between move and wall modes.
• Phone & tablet: tapping squares and wall grooves works, but a mouse and keyboard are recommended because wall placement relies on hover previews.

Game modes

• Versus AI: three difficulty levels — Easy, Medium, and Hard.
• Online: create an invite link, join with a code, or quick-match against another player.

Tips & strategy

• Force detours rather than dead ends — walls that add the most steps beat walls that merely block one square.
• Hold a wall in reserve; placing your last one too early leaves you defenseless after a quake.
• Count the turns until the next quake before committing to a wall you can't afford to lose.
