The Housekeeper
The playable hero is a quick-thinking housekeeper with glasses, a plan, and a growing collection of useful powers. She has no fixed name in the game; each run is your chance to guide her through the maze.
The Roach Swarm
The roaches patrol the maze and pursue the player. Their colors distinguish individual enemies, but they all belong to the same swarm. New levels add more roaches, making safe routes harder to find.
Helpful finds
Roaming items include a shield, whirlwind, heart, clock, and snowflake. Power pellets can also grant temporary forms associated with a spray, slipper, or monster. These are abilities and collectibles rather than separately named characters.
