About Escape or Die

Escape or Die is a challenging platformer with simple but extremely difficult gameplay, where players must overcome 70 dangerous trap-filled levels. With the "one-hit kill" mechanism, each step requires absolute precision, combining quick reflexes and the ability to memorize obstacle patterns. The game has a strong "troll platformer" style—difficult but addictive, making players both angry and wanting to conquer.

How to play Escape or Die?

What is the goal?

With 70 levels in the game, players have 3 main tasks:

• Move from the starting point to the teleportation gate to the new level.
• Avoid all deadly traps: blades, spikes, disappearing platforms, falling objects, etc.
• No checkpoints—if you lose, you have to start over.

Diverse obstacle system

• Fake platform: Disappears after jumping, causing the character to fall into the abyss.
• Blades/saws: Move in a fixed or random trajectory.
• Spiked walls: Pop up suddenly when the player approaches.
• Exploding balls/falling objects: Fall from the ceiling and need to be avoided by moving continuously.
• "Troll" traps: Locations that seem safe but are actually deadly traps (e.g., trick flag after jumping).

How to overcome the most difficult obstacle: coordination traps

Coordination traps are the most difficult obstacles, according to many people after playing Escape or Die. Here, blades and saws often move in a fixed trajectory; sometimes they also appear randomly without warning. Balls can explode and fall from the ceiling or bounce off the wall at you. Unexpected incidents without any prediction or signal make it easy for you to stop the game if you are not focused.

Observe before acting

• Blade trajectory (spin/straight/zigzag).
• Frequency of the explosions (every 2 seconds/3 seconds?).
• Platform cycle (appears 3 seconds, disappears 2 seconds?).

Determine the movement sequence

• Prioritize dodging the explosions first (as they usually cause instant death).
• Jump over the blade when it is furthest away (usually at the top or end of the trajectory).
• Step onto the platform as soon as it appears. → Make the most of your standing time.

“Do or die” movement technique

• Jump continuously to avoid the explosions, but make sure to land on the right platform.
• Stand still at the right time: If the platform is about to disappear, jump to the next platform instead of waiting.
• Use the "trial death method": Accept death a few times to memorize the exact trap sequence.

Easy control on PC

• Arrow keys (↑ ↓ ← →) or WASD: Move.
• Space / W / ↑: Jump.
• R (if available): Reset the level when stuck.
• Esc: Pause the game.
