Planet Escape drops you into a arcade challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. The core of it is escape. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.

How to play Planet Escape
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. Keep a hand on the arrow keys / WASD; everything else is listed in the controls table.

If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
