About Space Escape
Welcome to "Space Escape", the thrilling space adventure game! In this pixel-art game, you'll take control of a tiny alien that always hovers in the middle of the screen. Use your skills to move left and right and dodge the falling satellites that come your way. Your goal is to achieve the highest score possible by avoiding as many obstacles as you can. The gameplay is endless, so you can keep playing and improving your skills as you go. The graphics are retro-inspired, making it a great game for anyone who loves challaging games.
How to play Space Escape
There is very little to learn before your first run. Load the game above and it fills the player in portrait. On a phone you can play one-handed; on desktop the frame stays centred so nothing is cropped. Most players get the hang of it inside two or three attempts.

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.
