Other hazards include large yellow walls with doors that open and close. A timer ticks down constantly, and only stops when the player reaches the grey tiles that mark the end of a level. Remaining time is carried over to the next level, and a bonus score awarded based on the number of seconds left. (The timer is reset after each dragon level). There are 24 levels in total. At the end of the game a rating is awarded, from Hilarious to Superblazer for completing the game.
