OUCH. is stupidly simple. Impossibly hard. Dangerously addictive. You're a glowing ball between two walls of spikes. Tap to dash to the other side. That's the whole game. You'll die in 2 seconds. Then you'll tap retry. And again. And again. No tutorials, no loading screens โ€” you're playing in one second. Instant death, instant retry. Starts easy, then the spikes come faster, from both sides, with smaller gaps. Good luck. NEW IN V2: Choose your nickname. Survive spike waves to level up โ€” each level faster than the last. Collect golden coins along the way. Every 5 coins earn you an extra life. You'll need it. The game roasts you when you die. Score 0? "did you even try?" Score 50? "you're not human" Screenshot your score. Share it. Prove it. Beat your friends. Beat your record. Beat the game. (Spoiler: you can't.) OUCH. โ€” you've been warned.
