The game uses a fixed top-down view over a grid of rectangular areas. The player moves along borders to complete outlines; once a shape is closed, it is filled and scored. Enemies patrol specific routes or actively chase the player, so timing and path choice are crucial. Each stage becomes more difficult as enemy pressure increases, and clearing all areas advances to the next round with faster and denser threats.
Amidar is a 1981 Konami arcade game that blends maze action with puzzle-like route planning. Players control a character who traces the edges of shapes to fill them in while avoiding pursuing enemies. Its simple rules, tense pacing, and emphasis on movement strategy made it stand out among early painting and maze games, and it remains a notable classic from the era.
Player character
The controllable figure that draws lines around areas and avoids enemy contact.
Enemy patrols
Hazards that move along the maze routes and interfere with area completion.
Start with short, safe outlines and build control of the map gradually. Watch enemy movement and enter key corridors only when a path is clearly open. Avoid overextending for large sections early; it is often safer to finish one area cleanly and then expand. In later stages, patience and consistent route selection matter more than speed.
