Woks

About

Woks is an arcade game where you infiltrate rooms to retrieve stolen cooking gear. Each chamber holds a wok guarded by sentries who follow fixed patrol patterns. Your job is to dodge or dispatch them by learning their routines. Early rooms have single guards, later ones pack three patrols each. The challenge builds steadily as you memorize tighter routes and time your moves to avoid detection. The game thrives on its precision and growing tension. Players who commit guard patterns to memory gain an edge, turning twitchy reflexes into calculated strategy. Though released in 1986, its core loop of observation and evasion still feels sharp. The BBC Micro's limitations don't soften the difficulty curve, making each successful heist feel earned.
