Help Deck climb as high as possible to escape possible traps, be aware that the walls can have traps too.
How to play Escalate Dack

On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
