Mazes

Hold the burner and the climb accelerates the longer you hold it. Let go and the speed you bought stays with you. Red-lit rock bursts the envelope, and so do the biplanes and the fire off a volcano. Windshear will not burst you by itself, but it is sinking air and it will put you into the spikes if you dawdle.

Gather the mailbags. They sit off the easy line, so each one costs a detour. Touch a sparkling pad and a burst only sets you back to there, with the mail you had already gathered still aboard.

Build using Claude and based on a game I wrote for the TRS-80 CoCo3 back in 1989 with the same name.
