How to play SlowRush

Hold to slow time. Read the arena. Outlast your ghost.

~18%Hazard speed while freezing
5Challenge modes
5+Biomes in Auto

Your first run

Configure

On the home screen pick an environment (or Auto for endless rotation), a challenge mode, and difficulty. Tune music and haptics in Settings anytime.

Launch

Tap START. The arena loads a seeded run — same seed means the same hazard script, perfect for practising one layout.

Survive

Move constantly. Freeze only when you need a breather — empty bar means full-speed chaos until it refills.

Controls

Browser

  • WASD or arrow keys to move
  • Hold SPACE to activate time-freeze
  • Online server validates spawns during play

Android app

  • Left joystick — thumb-friendly movement
  • Hold FREEZE — hazards drop to ~18% speed
  • Portrait, one-handed — fully offline in v1

Freeze energy

The cyan bar is your freeze reserve. It drains while you hold freeze and recharges when you release. Plan bursts — overusing freeze shaves score and leaves you exposed when the bar hits zero.

Ghost replay

After your first run on a seed, a semi-transparent ghost replays your last attempt. Chase its survival time — if the ghost is still moving when you die, you have not beaten that run yet.

Tip: Ghost data stays on your device in the Android app; in the browser game the ghost is replayed from your previous run on that seed. Use it to learn safe lanes without memorizing every spawn.

Challenge modes

Standard

Classic SlowRush — freeze time, dodge everything, climb levels.

No Freeze

Freeze disabled; obstacles run ~10% faster. Pure reflex mode.

Darkness

Most of the screen is black; only a lit circle around you reveals hazards.

Speedrun

Collect glowing orbs for bonus score; chain pickups for multipliers.

Blitz

Every ~8 s a ~3 s surge doubles spawn rate and speed — stay calm.

Environments

Auto (Endless) cycles biomes as your level rises (~every 12 s). Lock a single biome in Setup to master one hazard set.

Deep Space
Jungle
Open Field
Cyber Factory
Frozen Mountain

Deep Space — meteors, lasers, plasma · Jungle — predators, trees, darts · Open Field — rocks, tornados, lightning · Cyber Factory — crushers, arcs, drills · Frozen Mountain — avalanches, spikes, frost waves

Scoring & leaderboard

Score grows with survival time and level. Near-misses add bonus points. Heavy freeze use applies a small penalty. In Speedrun mode, orbs scale with how long you stay alive.

Optional: post a great run to the global leaderboard from the browser game or this mobile hub (display name + score). The Android app v1 keeps your best score locally — no account required.
