About Getaway Shootout

Your character doesn't run normally; it only jumps left or right. That makes even moving forward a skill all on its own.

Along the way there are platforms, gaps, and items. Since you both move at the same time, blocking each other is part of the game too — whoever reaches the getaway car at the finish first wins the round.

Why kids love this game

The quirky controls create funny moments all on their own. The two-player mode runs on the same keyboard, so playing with a friend is easy.

Is this game safe for kids?

Yes. The art style is cartoonish, and falling just means going back a bit.

4. Move across the platforms.

• Make small jumps: holding the key too long flings your character out of control, short taps are easier to manage
• Find a rhythm: alternating the right and left keys lets you build a steady progress rhythm
• Let your opponent go first: in narrow gaps, waiting for your opponent to pass is better than both of you getting stuck
• Grab the items: items along the way give you an advantage, pick up the ones you pass without straying too far off your route
• Don't worry about falling: falling doesn't end the round, it just sends you back a bit, so risky shortcuts are worth trying

• Two-button control: only jumping left and right
• Funny physics: characters fling around wildly and out of control
• 2 players, one keyboard: two players race on a single computer
• Platform levels: courses full of gaps and obstacles
• Short rounds: each round wraps up in just a few minutes
• Works on any device: played with keyboard controls
