About game

Staring at the clock during a long afternoon usually leads to restless boredom. Relic Rush saves the day by dropping you straight into a fast-paced maze filled with ancient secrets and traps. You navigate relic-filled ruins while dodging monsters that hunt you down without mercy. Your primary tool is a trusty pickaxe designed to dig through brick blocks and create temporary obstacles for your pursuers. Trapping enemies in holes gives you just enough room to maneuver toward the final exit. Success relies on your ability to combine quick reflexes with clever spatial logic. Every stage demands careful observation because monsters respawn once a hole closes on them. You can play Relic Rush right now in your browser without any downloads or waiting. Start your journey into these dangerous ruins today and see if you possess the skills to claim every treasure.

How to play

The goal of each level is to collect all the golden relics scattered throughout the maze. Once the last artifact is safely in your pocket, an exit will appear at the very top of the map. Reach it to win!

BE CAREFUL: The ruins are heavily guarded! If a monster touches you, you'll have to restart the level.

YOUR GREATEST WEAPON is your pickaxe:

You can dig brick blocks to your left and right.
The dug holes will automatically close after a few seconds.
If a monster falls into a hole, it will get stuck! Use this to safely run across their heads or delay their pursuit.
Monsters will eventually climb out of holes, and if a hole closes while they are inside, they will respawn at the top of the level.

PC/Keyboard: Use
W / A / S / D or Arrow Keys to run around and climb ladders/poles.
Q to dig the block on your LEFT.
E to dig the block on your RIGHT.
