How to play
Use the arrow keys to move your character forward, backward, jump, or crouch. Observe the environment closely to identify hidden traps or moving machinery. Your goal is to reach the end of the level while sustaining as little damage as possible. If you need to reassess the path ahead or take a break, use the pause key to stop the action and plan your next move.
Tips for beginners
- Move slowly when approaching unfamiliar structures to avoid triggering hidden pressure plates.
- Watch the character's posture; crouching can help you safely clear low-hanging obstacles.
- Pay close attention to the timing of moving traps to find the safest window to pass through.
