About Harry Down
Harry Down is an endless HTML5 escape game inspired by Metal Slug. You need to control Harry to get down the escape from the Doom Machine!
How to play Harry Down
There is very little to learn before your first run. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
Difficulty in Harry Down comes from the game itself rather than from waiting, unlocking or paying, which is rarer than it should be. A browser game does not need to be more than that.
