(Warning: This game may be quite difficult. Play at your own risk!)


You’ve woken up in a strange place with the eerie feeling that you’ve been here before. Conquer the treacherous traps by running, jumping and using your power of pausing to get ahead. Just remember: once you pause, there is nothing you can do to change your path. Let the chips fall where they may. Hopefully not directly onto a spike.

Now that I'm here (I was going to post the review anymode), I saw some of you have unlocked the achievements on this game, on 2024... how? Do you need specifically the newgrounds player and not any other?
(I'll edit the last part once I found out how it is done)

My favorite flash game

Collecting all the achievements in this game has been easily one of the most exhausting challenges I've ever faced in this site. I almost lost my sanity trying to get a deathless run.

About the game, the concept is very unique and the music is god-tier. Underrated gem. Of course, I couldn't expect any less from the guys that made Tower of Heaven after all.

Just wanna say this is an AMZING game. I did pretty much everything and just it was a lovely challenge! truly underrated

This was a nice game here some fun interactivity I really like the music but the graphics was pretty impressive so nice job indeed, I did die a good bit in this game though, Some precise timing and such is needed though overall this was notbad and pretty fun of a game
