The briefing

About this game

Capture the Flag is a 3D maze game in which one player takes the role of an invader while the other acts as a defender. The invader must navigate the labyrinth and escape through one of two flashing doors to reach the flag, while the defender attempts to intercept them by running into them.

Successful flag captures and interceptions score points and begin a new round in a randomly generated labyrinth. The game features 360-degree movement, visual indicators for the doors and visible players, and music that intensifies as the invader and defender draw near.
