Pomni Maze Shooter

You're trapped in a shifting labyrinth with only a gun and your reflexes. Pomni Maze Shooter throws you into tight corridors where every corner hides a new threat.

The first thing you'll notice is how tight the maze feels. Pomni Maze Shooter doesn't give you long sightlines or safe corners. You spawn with a basic pistol, and the walls press in while something scuttles just out of view. I died within thirty seconds on my first run. The game doesn't hold your hand. Mouse aim is everything. You hold WASD to strafe through corridors, but you can't shoot and move without thinking—bullets only matter when they connect. Enemies come in waves, and they love to wait at intersections. One time, I rounded a corner straight into two fast crawlers and a spitter. I backpedaled, emptied my clip, and somehow survived with half a heart. That's the loop: peek, shoot, duck, repeat. The maze layout shifts every time you restart, so memorizing a path won't save you. What keeps me coming back is the tension. There's no health regen unless you find a medkit, and ammo is plentiful enough to waste but scarce enough to respect. The weapon pickups break things up—shotgun for tight rooms, SMG for open stretches—but each has a tradeoff. The enemies start predictable (slow walkers, then runners, then spitters that arc projectiles) and suddenly you're strafing between four different threat types while a timer ticks down. It's not a long game in one sitting, but the difficulty curve feels fair—you always know why you died, even if it stings a little. If you want a five-minute adrenaline spike between classes, this is your jam. It runs smooth in a browser tab, no download needed, and the mouse-and-keyboard combo feels crisp. I've played worse shooters that took ten times the space to install.

WASD to move and mouse to shoot.

Don't stand in the open when reloading—press against a wall to cut one angle of attack. The shotgun only shines at point-blank range; swap to SMG for long corridors. Enemies telegraph their attacks with a brief pause, so strafe sideways instead of backward. Medkits are rare. Save them for after clearing a room, not during a firefight. Turn up your volume—footsteps give away enemies hiding around corners. Restarting is instant, so don't waste time looting empty dead ends.
