Escape from Africa

Escape from Africa drops you into the heart of the savanna with one goal: outrun everything that wants to catch you. As you sprint through golden grasslands, you'll face a menagerie of aggressive animals and natural obstacles that appear without warning. The landscape shifts between open plains and rocky terrain, forcing you to stay alert and react in a split second to keep your momentum going. The longer you survive, the faster the action becomes and the more chaotic the wildlife gets. Collect scattered supplies along the way to boost your score and keep your run alive. With its simple one-button control scheme and ever-increasing difficulty, Escape from Africa offers a pure test of reflexes that's easy to pick up but hard to master. How far can you make it before the savanna claims you?
