About Escape Jump
Escape Jump is a runner where you're fleeing something - rising lava, a chasing threat, a collapsing environment - and jumping to stay ahead. The escape framing adds urgency to the standard jump-runner formula; hesitating means getting caught.
The controls are typically one-button - tap to jump, clear obstacles, keep moving. What varies is the threat mechanic: lava rising from below, a wall closing from one side, or a pursuer that catches you if you slow. The threat creates a tempo that pure obstacle runners lack.
Obstacles compound the threat pressure. Spikes, gaps, and barriers require jumps, but the threat means you can't stop to plan - hesitation gets you caught even if you clear the obstacle. Reading ahead while maintaining forward momentum is the skill.
The escape theme gives the runner genre a different energy. It's not just about clearing obstacles - it's about clearing them fast enough to survive. The tension is constant, and the retry loop is fast.

How to Play
Tap (click, spacebar, or screen tap) to jump. Clear obstacles while staying ahead of the threat.
Maintain forward momentum. The threat (lava, pursuer, collapse) catches you if you hesitate - keep moving.
Read obstacles ahead. You can't stop to plan, so scan what's coming while executing current jumps.
Survive by clearing obstacles faster than the threat advances. The escape framing demands tempo, not just clearance.
