Escape from Earth
Help Eliter the little dinosaur outrun a homing missile, jump over walls and grab coins across four pixel-art stages in this free browser game.
About Escape from Earth
Escape from Earth is a pixel-art auto-runner with a story. Eliter, a small dinosaur, comes back to Earth hoping to find it green and peaceful, but discovers factories and armies instead, and soon a missile is on his tail. He runs on his own: your only job is to time his jumps.
Each stage is a hand-built level full of floating platforms, tall walls and coins arranged in arcs that hint at the perfect jump. Get stuck against a wall and the missile catches up and explodes; fall off the level and the run is over too. Reach the end of a stage to blow up the missile and earn a bonus, then move on to the next one. After the fourth stage the loop starts again at a higher speed.
Your five best runs are saved as a high score table, so there is always a reason to try one more time.
How to play
Eliter runs to the right automatically while a missile chases him. Press the Up arrow, click or tap to jump, and hold it for a higher jump. Use the platforms to climb over walls and collect coins for points. Reach the end of the stage to destroy the missile and earn a bonus; getting hit by the missile or falling ends the game.

Tips
- Follow the coin arcs: they show where a jump should start and land.
- Tall walls cannot be cleared from the ground, so jump onto the nearest platform first and leap from there.
- Release the jump early for short hops, which keeps you low and fast between platforms.
- Do not stall against a wall: every moment you lose lets the missile get closer.
