What is Escape the Grind?
A bite-sized trap platformer about surviving one very long workweek. Eight levels — Monday's alarm, rush-hour elevators, the punch-clock trap, meeting-room mines, deadline towers and the final year-end report. Reach the green door and go home alive.
Original game, handmade levels, zero ads, zero downloads.
