Read full description

Escbox is a lava runner game heavily relying on physics. Run forward, break boxes, and don’t let the lava catch up to you. You are free to move in any direction, but the number of available jumps is limited. Don’t slow down — and never stop! — you have to reach the finish before the lava does it for you. Features • Custom-made levels. There is no place for randomness! Every level is crafted without using any automatic processes. • Physics is everywhere. Push boxes around and throw them into lava — it looks and feels exceptionally good. • Unique locations. Every location has it’s own style and weather effects. There’s always new stuff to find and enjoy. • Original music. Enjoy the music made to fit the theme of every particular location. • Achievements • Leaderboards
