What is Save the Bloggers from Jail
A journalist's story is worth more than their safety. Dodge, weave, and sprint through a hostile city to deliver the evidence that could change everything.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move your character through the environment. Collect glowing evidence items, avoid the vision cones of patrolling officers, and reach the marked exit point before your stamina runs out or you get caught.
Tips for Playing
- Memorize guard patrol routes to find gaps in their coverage.
- Use dumpsters and parked cars as temporary hiding spots when a guard gets close.
- Prioritize evidence collection early in each level to map out your exit path.
- Don't rush into alleys — check for moving vehicles before crossing.
- Save your sprint for straightaways where you can gain distance without crashing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I get caught by a police officer?
Getting caught ends the current run, and you will need to restart the level from the beginning. The game does not have checkpoints, so precision and timing are key.
Is there a way to distract the guards?
Yes, you can throw small objects like rocks or bottles to create noise and lure guards away from your path. Use this mechanic sparingly, as it can also alert multiple patrols if used recklessly.
How many levels are in the game?
The game features 30 handcrafted levels that gradually increase in difficulty, introducing new obstacles and guard patterns. After completing the main campaign, there is an endless mode for extra challenges.
Can I play this game on mobile devices?
The game is built for desktop browsers with keyboard controls, but it also supports touch controls on tablets and smartphones. However, the precision required for later levels is easier with a physical keyboard.
What is the purpose of the evidence items?
Collecting all evidence pieces in a level unlocks bonus content and increases your score multiplier. While not mandatory, they add a layer of strategy to your escape route.
Is there any penalty for taking too long to finish a level?
There is no time limit, but your character has a stamina meter that depletes when sprinting. If you run too much without resting, you will slow down, making you an easier target for patrols.
