AFTERIMAGE

Your past is catching up.

Collect light in a neon arena while your last eight seconds return as dangerous echoes. Every new path becomes something else to dodge. Change your route, chain pickups, and see how long you can outsmart yourself.

Collect light. Pick up energy to score points. Keep the chain going to build a multiplier up to 8×.

Avoid your echoes. Every eight seconds, your recorded movement returns as an enemy. Up to seven previous paths stay in play.

Phase through danger. A short dash gives you a burst of speed and a brief window of protection, then needs time to recharge.

One more run. Your personal best is saved in this browser when local storage is available. There are no accounts or online leaderboards.
