Tag 2
Tag 2 transforms the schoolyard classic into a digital battlefield. You'll sprint through colorful arenas, leap over barriers, and weave through tight spaces while a relentless chaser hunts you down.

What sets Tag 2 apart is its blend of pure speed and tactical movement. You can't just run in a straight line; you'll need to read your opponent's patterns, use the environment to your advantage, and time your dodges perfectly. Whether you're playing solo against AI or challenging friends in local multiplayer, every match feels fresh. The game's simple rules hide a surprising depth, making it easy to pick up but hard to master.

What is Tag 2
Tag 2 takes the timeless game of tag and injects it with fast-paced action and clever level design. Are you quick enough to stay free, or will you be stuck as 'it'?
How to Play
Control your character with the arrow keys or WASD to move and jump. Your goal is to avoid being touched by the chaser until the timer runs out, or if you're the chaser, tag everyone else before time expires.
Tips for Playing
- Keep moving unpredictably; sudden direction changes make you harder to catch.
- Use elevated platforms to buy precious seconds while the chaser navigates around.
- Pay attention to the timer—if you're 'it,' focus on the nearest target first.
- When fleeing, cut corners tightly to maintain your lead.
- Learn the layout of each level to find the best escape routes and dead ends.
