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
Getting started takes about ten seconds. Nothing about the control scheme is unusual; the table below covers all of it. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Restarting is instant, so there is no cost to experimenting.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse / trackpad | Draw and colour |
| Left click | Pick a tool or colour |
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
Plenty of arcade games want a tutorial and ten minutes of setup before anything happens. Space Escape does not — it is playable from the first second. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
