Every level lies.

How to play

• Keyboard: ← → or A D to run, Space, ↑ or W to jump. Hold jump to go higher, tap it for a little hop. R restarts the level, Esc pauses.
• Phone: turn it sideways. Your left thumb steers (the left half of its area runs left, the right half runs right) and your right thumb jumps. Prefer it the other way round? Settings has Jump on the left.
• One touch of anything sharp, round or heavy and you’re done. You come back instantly, and the level resets.
• Floors fall, spikes appear, doors run away, and some doors aren’t doors. Every trap is the same every time, so each death teaches you something.

Chapters

1. Trust Issues

Floors, doors and spikes that don’t play fair.

2. Cold Feet

Walls that move, doors that lie, controls that betray.

3. The Basement

Down here, even gravity is in on it.

4. Emotional Damage

It knows what you learned, and it uses it against you. Wins that aren’t, checkpoints that don’t, and a pause button you shouldn’t press.

5. Fourth Wall

The game itself is in on it. Lag, blackouts, a ghost of your last try, a crash screen that isn’t, and a bridge only your own dead body can build.

…and 16 more

Each one brings a new toy and ten ways to hurt you with it. Buzzkill: saws that rise out of the floor and chase you. Boing: springs. The Floor Is Lava: it rises. Wormhole: portals. Pull the Lever: levers that open things, mostly the floor. Kaboom: bombs and countdowns. Factory Floor: conveyor belts and crushers. Black Ice: ice and wind. Growing Pains: you change size. Moon Base: gravity changes. Wrap Around: the pit is the way up. Gold Digger: free coins, terrible consequences. Read the Signs: signs that lie. Do Nothing: the hardest move is not moving. Devil’s Remix: all of it, two at a time. And Lost & Found: find the keys, then find the door.

Every level is built around its own trick, so no two play the same.

That’s 210 levels in 21 chapters, each chapter ending with a boss level. Your death count is kept forever. Wear it with pride.

Ragebait a friend

Pick 3 levels you’ve beaten, and the game makes a link. Send it to someone. You both play the same 3 levels, whenever you like, and whoever dies the fewest times wins (the faster time breaks a tie).

• Leave halfway and your deaths are still counted when you come back. No starting over to wipe the slate.
• The challenge screen updates live: you’ll see when your friend accepts, and the moment they finish.
• No accounts: you type a nickname, and your device keeps a record of how many you’ve won.

Put it on your home screen

• iPhone and iPad: open the game in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
• Android: open the game in Chrome, tap the menu, then Install app or Add to Home screen.

It then opens full screen like an app, and works offline (challenges need a connection).
