A simple, top-down game in which mazes are randomly generated using one of a choice of several different algorithms. You move the character through the maze while hunting for targets (cheese, by default)--the game is won once all of these targets have been picked up.

Features:
• Showing the amount of time and steps it has taken to play the maze (optional)
• "Bread crumb" trail to show you where you've already been (optional)
• Flag system which allows you to mark and later un-mark any square on the board
• SVG themes (two themes come with the game)

Cuyo is a Tetris-style puzzle game for up to two players. The player controls falling blocks of various types which change with each level. For example, in the first level, the player has to connect differently colored cartoon faces to each other. When enough blocks of the same type are connected, they explode. Usually the level goal is to destroy a certain number of special blocks at the bottom of the screen; these special blocks explode when blocks adjacent to them explode (in some levels, only when this is accomplished through a chain reaction).

Some of the more complex levels have

• changing blocks (e.g., darkening over time, changing into a different state, only revealing their type occasionally)
• changing environments (e.g., very quickly falling blocks)
• different block connection requirements (e.g. blocks can only connect diagonally)

The game graphics and animations, while simple, are part of the player's motivation, since they change with each level. The constantly changing requirements make Cuyo different from Tetris, where the main variation over time is speed and scoring.
