Play Space Stairwell for free — a arcade game that runs directly in your browser on desktop, tablet or phone.

Tips and tricks
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Look one step ahead of your character. Reacting to what is under you is too late; reacting to what is coming is exactly on time.
- Combo systems reward patience: keep the chain alive with safe moves rather than reaching for risky bonuses.
- Find the rhythm. Most arcade games have an underlying beat — taps, jumps or moves that fall on a regular interval — and once you feel it, your accuracy jumps.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
