Escape Kid is a platform game about getting out: levels are laid out as escape routes with hazards, gaps and moving obstacles between you and the exit, and the pressure comes from momentum rather than a timer.
It's short-form platforming — levels take under a minute, deaths restart immediately, and the difficulty is in the precision rather than the length.
Hold the jump key for a longer arc and take off at the very edge of the platform rather than from the middle.
Yes — deaths return you to the last checkpoint rather than the start of the level.
Yes — a light 2D platformer with nothing to install.
