Avoid Dying Game

Avoid Dying is a physics-based puzzle game where your main goal is survival, and hitting the target is just what triggers the danger. You play as a stationary stickman archer aiming at a bullseye to clear each stage. However, successfully striking the target often sets off a chain reaction of deadly traps, such as a descending ceiling of spikes or collapsing floors. The true challenge lies in predicting the environmental reaction before you even draw your bow.

The core loop is fast and unforgiving. Because respawns are nearly instantaneous, failure encourages you to immediately tweak your firing angle and try again. It strips away complex mechanics to focus purely on trajectory calculation and timing, forcing you to thread the needle through moving hazards to complete the level alive.

Controls

The game relies entirely on a single input method to determine your arrow's trajectory and power.

• Aim and Shoot: Click and drag your mouse (or swipe on touch screens) away from the bow to draw the string. The further back you drag, the greater the tension and firing power.
• Release: Let go of the mouse button or screen to loose the arrow.

Tips

• Use the Back Wall: Direct shots aren't always the solution. Bouncing your arrows off the wall behind the target is an essential technique for reaching bullseyes guarded by shields in the later levels.
• Test the Waters: For stages with motion-triggered traps, fire a weak dummy arrow first to set them off. Once the hazard has reset or moved safely out of the way, follow up with your real shot.
• Remember Your Trajectories: The game lacks a full trajectory path indicator. Memorize the physical distance you drag your mouse for mid-range shots so you can easily replicate them.
