PixelMaze — Terms of Service

Effective as of March 12, 2025

1. What is PixelMaze?

PixelMaze is a free-to-play maze navigation game that runs entirely inside your web browser. There is nothing to install, nothing to purchase, and nothing to sign up for. You simply open the page and start playing. The game generates randomized mazes and challenges you to solve as many as possible within a set time window.

2. Absolutely Zero Monetary Component

We want to make this abundantly clear: PixelMaze does not involve money in any form. You cannot bet, wager, deposit, withdraw, or earn anything of monetary value through this game. There are no in-app purchases, no premium tiers, no loot boxes, no tokens, and no cryptocurrency integration. Scores exist purely as a personal benchmark.

3. Acceptable Behavior

We built this for people who enjoy puzzle games. In return, we ask that you refrain from using automated scripts, bots, or browser exploits to manipulate scores or disrupt functionality. Reverse engineering the maze generation algorithm is technically impressive but not encouraged for leaderboard purposes. Any attempt to inject code or tamper with the page may result in degraded performance on your end — and that's really just punishing yourself.

4. Intellectual Property

The source code, visual design, maze generation logic, and overall presentation of PixelMaze are protected under applicable copyright laws. You are welcome to play and share the link freely. However, cloning, redistributing, or repurposing significant portions of the codebase without written permission is not permitted.

5. No Warranty or Guarantees

PixelMaze is provided on an "as-is" basis. We don't guarantee uninterrupted access, perfect rendering across all browsers, or that your high score will persist forever (localStorage can be cleared by browsers or extensions). If the game breaks on an obscure browser from 2009, that's unfortunate but not something we can realistically fix.

6. Updates to These Terms

We may revise these terms periodically. If something substantial changes, we'll update the effective date at the top. Continuing to play after changes are posted means you're okay with the new terms. If you're not, simply close the tab — no hard feelings.
