More about this game
Your goal is to survive for exactly 17 seconds by dodging falling orange squares. You control a bright green circle that can shift between five distinct vertical lanes. As the timer ticks up, the squares fall faster and spawn more frequently, demanding quicker reactions to stay safe. A single collision with an orange square immediately ends your run and resets your progress, but reaching 17 points secures a victory.
Tips
- Stay near the center lane when possible. It gives you the fastest access to any safe lane when multiple squares spawn at once during the later stages.
- The spawn delay drops from 0.6 seconds to 0.3 seconds as you play, so prepare for rapid movements and faster falling speeds near the end.
- Squares can vary in size from 32 to 46 pixels. Pay close attention to their edges so they do not clip your 16-pixel radius green circle.
Questions
How do I win the game?
You win by surviving for exactly 17 seconds without hitting any orange squares. The game tracks your time as your score, and reaching 17 points automatically triggers the victory screen.
Why do the squares fall faster?
The falling speed of the orange squares scales up based on your current survival time. By the time you reach the final seconds, they fall significantly faster than they did at the start.
Can I recover from a hit?
No, a single collision with any orange square instantly ends your current run. You will have to restart from zero and try to survive the full 17 seconds all over again.
