Obstacles

The route keeps changing.

Red blockade cells force new routes. Blue ice cells temporarily freeze walls in place.

Special power orbs

Take a risk.
Change the board.

Special power orbs give you unique ways to change the board when the path gets tight. Use them wisely, or keep them for the moment that matters.
