About Strider
You control a pixel-art astronaut climbing a gauntlet of shifting platforms, timing each jump to push upward through a sci-fi cityscape. Miss a platform and you drop — sometimes a long way. The challenge ramps up steadily, so early levels teach the rhythm before the gaps start demanding real precision.
The pixel-art aesthetic is crisp without being cluttered, and the sci-fi setting gives each stage a neon-edged personality. It sits comfortably in the games catalog alongside other quick-session arcade titles. If you'd rather chase a different kind of reflex challenge, HexGL Racing goes in a different direction — 3D, speed-focused, and built around WebGL.
Arrow keys or WASD handle all the movement, so there's nothing to configure before you start. A larger screen helps because the full vertical column of platforms stays visible at once, letting you plan a jump or two ahead instead of reacting blind.
How to use
You are a rebel agent who must escape a government facility by reaching the extraction point at the top level. **Objective:** Climb through multiple levels while avoiding or destroying enemies to reach the transport at the top. **Movement Controls:** • Arrow keys or WASD to move left/right and jump • Press Up Arrow or W twice quickly for double jump • Keep moving to avoid enemy fire **Combat:** • Press X, Z, or Y to auto-aim and shoot at nearest enemy • Your rifle fires automatically once aimed • Shooting consumes energy **Special Ability:** • Press 1 to use overcharge: trade 1 health point for full energy refill **Tips:** • Always stay mobile when enemies shoot at you • Collect health and energy powerups but save them for when needed • You can backtrack to pick up powerups you left behind • Movement and timing are more important than shooting The game gets easier once you learn the movement patterns. Focus on dodging projectiles while making steady upward progress.
