More about this game
In Don't Look Back, you run endlessly through a dark, glitchy corridor. Your goal is to survive as long as possible by jumping over floor spikes and ducking under hanging hooks. The game starts at a base speed of 520 and constantly accelerates by 18 units every second, making timing more difficult. Random jumpscares flash a grotesque face on the screen, trying to break your focus. A run ends immediately if you hit any obstacle, recording your final distance score.
Tips
- Obstacles spawn exactly every 760 units of distance, so get ready to jump or duck as soon as you clear the previous hazard.
- The speed ramps up by 18 units every second. You have a 0.11-second grace period to jump after leaving the ground, so use it if you react late.
- Every fifth obstacle has a slight rhythm offset of 190 units, which changes the timing of your jump or duck slightly compared to the standard gap.
FAQ
- How do I duck under the hooks?
- You can duck by holding the Down Arrow on a keyboard, swiping down on a touch screen, or holding the bottom left corner of the screen while running.
- What happens when the screen flashes?
- The screen flashes and shows a scary face as a random jumpscare. It does not hurt your character, but the sudden noise and image can distract you from the obstacles.
- When do the jumpscares happen?
- The first jumpscare happens randomly between 5.6 and 11 seconds into your run. After that, they trigger randomly every 5.5 to 14 seconds to keep you on edge.
