Unlike the autonomous navigation of hamsters, skills provide direct player involvement. Each skill:
Must be manually triggered by the player
Has a cooldown period before it can be used again
Consumes energy (which regenerates over time)
Gets more powerful as hamsters level up
Effect: Destroy a single wall in the hamster's path Cooldown: 30 seconds Energy Cost: 20 Strategic Use: Create shortcuts or escape dead ends

Effect: Highlight the optimal path to the exit for 3 seconds Cooldown: 90 seconds Energy Cost: 50 Strategic Use: Determine which direction to focus on when stuck
As your hamster gains levels, their skills can be upgraded:

Dual skill activation
Certain skills work particularly well with specific hamster personalities:
Cautious + Pathfinder: Perfect for methodical maze solving
Adventurous + Wall Breaker: Create your own path through the maze
Strategic + Teleport: Optimize positioning for maximum efficiency
Random + Speed Boost: Amplify the chaos and unpredictability
