A free survival arcade game where one player dodges 100 pursuers for 40 seconds, with custom local images, a giant-pursuer mode and a first-person school escape mode.
Nigekire! (逃げ切れ！, roughly “Escape!”) is a Japanese survival arcade game built around a simple panic loop: one player, 100 pursuers, and 40 seconds to stay alive. The main arena sends pursuers in from all four sides while you move through a responsive canvas.
The original page includes an English interface option. This listing translates the visible Japanese rules and controls for convenience; it is an unofficial translation, and the original page remains the place to play the current build.
How to play Nigekire! · Escape!
- Open the original site and choose the main 1 VS 100 mode. You have 40 seconds to avoid the pursuers until the timer reaches zero.
- Drag on the game canvas to move. A quick tap triggers a short step/dash when it is ready; use it to break away when a pursuer closes in.
- On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move and Space or Enter to trigger the step. The HUD shows the pursuer count, survival time and best result.
- You can choose an image from your device to use as the pursuer image. The game's notice says the image stays on the device and is not sent to the server; only use images you have permission to use.
- The mode list also includes 1 VS 1 Giant, where one giant pursuer gets faster over time, and 1 VS 1 FPS, where you collect five keys and escape a night school with no time limit.
Controls: Main mode: drag to move and tap quickly to step forward. On a keyboard, use the arrow keys to move and Space or Enter to step. Choose a mode from the original page, then survive until the timer reaches zero.
Why it's worth your time
The main mode turns a familiar survival rule into a personal chase: the pursuers can use an image selected from your own device, while the game keeps that image local.
The 100-pursuer mode gradually fills the arena from the edges, and the step ability creates a brief burst of movement with a cooldown rather than unlimited dodging.
The same page contains three distinct challenges: the 40-second crowd escape, an accelerating giant-pursuer chase, and a first-person key hunt through a dark school building.
The original interface is Japanese-first but includes an English switch. The English copy on this page is an unofficial translation of the game's instructions and mode descriptions.
