Aside from the changes to the walls, as well as the trap frequency, the floor of the map you are currently in also deteriorates as the game progresses. Every time approximately 1/3 of the lobby you are in falls out of the arena, the floor takes on its new form, giving the floor 3 total phases which it goes through.
Walls
Aside from the average wall in the game which glides right through the arena, there are also special types of walls. They are listed and described below:
Returning Walls
Returning Walls can appear at any time during playtime. These walls move through the arena like normal, but when they reach the side opposite the one they started at, they 'return', as indicated by their name. An important thing to look for is the fact that when they are returning, the pistons are still on the same side of the wall as they were when they spawned. This means, if you notice the wall returning too late, you may clip one of the pistons instead of being able to pull off a save.
Sike Walls
Sike Walls can appear any time during playtime after 1 minute. These walls are meant to move towards the arena just until it actually reaches the platform, and then it stops. After a short period, the Sike Wall will disappear. Sike Walls are always paired with at least 1 real wall, and there can be up to 3 Sike Walls on any given 'wave' of walls.

Traps are triggered at a rate according to the current Trap Frequency. They can be anything from mob spawns, special items granted, and arena changes. The following is a list of all traps currently in Hole in the Wall:
