This is it… a manifestation of all the cursed energy that I currently possess… All put into one absolutely terrible game… I present to you… Deleterious Decay. My **WORST** game yet.

Just like the last time, this is a game from my [Code to Progression](https://forum.makecode.com/t/code-to-progression-my-latest-game-series/24025) series. Game 6, to be exact. However, unlike the last time with the Food Jam, I changed a lot about this game, a lot to the point that I’ve given it a name of its own.

Ok, game summary: This game is just made to drive you crazy. Your player is small and too fast for you to calculate any jumps, you can barely even see what’s coming up, including which direction you’re supposed to go, and some of the jumps are close to impossible. It is indeed a speedrunning game, so you are being timed, and your attempts are being counted. Did I mention it’s a bit addictive?

Straight to the point: I didn’t enjoy verifying this. At first, my intention was to make the controls reversed, and to make the camera shake every time you pressed any button, but obviously that was WAY too hard, so I just stuck with what I have now.

I want to see @richard get to the… second checkpoint. Because there’s NO WAY you and @jwunderl and the others could beat the game… right…?

As for everyone else, I hope you enjoy! (You won’t)

**ATTENTION!**  
**Read this before playing this game.**  
In order for the game to not glitch out, press the arrow buttons in this order:  
Down, left, up, right  
In this game, you must use your flashlight and the security cameras to catch a monster.  
Press “a” to use the flashlight, WASD to move through the cameras.  
This game was made in a day, so it could be very buggy.

Also, “effugium” means escape in Latin.

A shortened experience for MakeCode Arcade

You can do such wonderful things as:

- Drive

And much, much more!

With this new version, we’ve also given you a radio. Unfortunately, you’re in the middle of nowhere, so the radio stations you do manage to find will be few in number and probably not the greatest.

Controls:  
Arrows - Steer  
A - Tune Radio

📢 Update 1.1.0

Added @InvalidProject’s Genesis Retake Light cover as background music! (I hope that’s okay)  
Dying now also no longer resets the game completely which means that the song will be playing smoothly without interruptions! Enjoy (or suffer 😈)!

I think I’m going a little overboard, but I’m submitting a full on game instead of a minigame \>:)
