GOT YA RUN — the floor is lying to you. Run. Jump. Reach the door. Simple, right? Except every floor, ceiling, and wall is plotting against you. Tiles crumble the instant you step on them. Spikes slide up mid-jump. Ceilings drop. Controls reverse. The exit slides away. It's a trap — and you're going to fall for it. Over and over. That's the fun. GOT YA RUN is a fast, funny rage-platformer with 20 hand-built levels across four tiers — from gentle warm-ups to brutal, multi-trick gauntlets. Death is instant and so is the retry, so you're never more than a heartbeat from another go. • 20 hand-designed levels, easy to brutal • 14 devious trap types — crumbling floors, hidden spikes, springs, saws, cannons, reversed controls, gravity flips, fake exits, and more • Tight, fair two-thumb controls — every death is the level's fault, never yours • Instant restart. No lives. No waiting. • One-tap Remove Ads for a clean run Think you can see the trap coming? You can't. Got ya.
