Schoolboy is a coward

Step into the squeaky shoes of a nervous schoolboy who just wants to get through the day without incident. The school halls are a minefield of troublemakers, and every corner hides a potential confrontation. Your goal is simple: reach your destination, complete small tasks, and avoid drawing attention. Each level presents a new scenario that mixes quick reflexes with careful timing, creating a playful tension between hiding and bolting. As you progress, the school becomes more unpredictable. Fellow students move in patterns, objects block your path, and bullies lurk with their own routines. You'll need to watch, wait, and make your move at the right moment. The game is lighthearted in tone, with exaggerated characters and a comic vibe, but the challenge is real. It's a tight, engaging arcade experience that rewards patience and sharp observation.
