Avoid Dying Game

Avoid Dying is a minimalist archery puzzle game where every shot is a matter of life and death. The goal is simple: hit the bullseye with your arrow. However, interacting with the target or the environment often triggers deadly traps like descending spikes, crushing weights, or closing walls. You must figure out the correct angle and timing to hit the target and survive the aftermath.

Because you die instantly upon making a mistake, the game relies on a rapid respawn loop. You will find yourself constantly tweaking your aim by a fraction of a millimeter to slip an arrow through a narrow gap or perfectly time a ricochet.

Controls

The controls are entirely mouse-based and highly intuitive.

• Aim and Shoot: Click and drag your mouse away from the bow to draw the string. The further back you pull, the higher the tension and the faster the arrow flies. Release the mouse button to fire.

Tips

• Use the environment: You don't always have a clear line of sight to the target. Use walls and ceilings to bounce your arrows around obstacles.
• Test the waters: Sometimes it pays to fire a low-power test shot just to see how the level's traps react, then adjust your real shot accordingly.
