Good idea, bad execution. Play only if you are looking for ways to torture yourself. I got all achievements under 1 hour tho.1 found this helpful
Reminds me of [I]RunnerDot[/I], but [I]RunnerDot[/I] does not run on Linux, but [I]RunnerDot[/I] runs with mouse. [I]Abscond[/I] is hardly a good game, but better than nothing. Adjust speed of game with graphics quality selector in the starter. Also good for gamepad.1 found this helpful
Abscond, developed and published by XiNFiNiTY Games, is a minimalist arcade survival title that strips gameplay down to its most essential components: movement, reaction, and score chasing. Released in 2017, it positions itself firmly within the tradition of reflex-driven high-score games, where success is measured not by narrative progression or character development, but by how long you can survive under escalating pressure. There is no story, no worldbuilding, and no layered progression systems—only a clean arena, a controllable shape, and an ever-growing threat level. The premise is straightforward. You control a small flaming circular entity navigating a 2D field filled with hazards and hostile projectiles. Enemies appear and pursue, obstacles close in, and the environment gradually becomes more chaotic as time passes. The objective is simple: survive as long as possible and accumulate the highest score you can before inevitably being overwhelmed. This “endless survival” structure places Abscond in the lineage of classic arcade games that emphasize repetition, mastery, and incremental improvement over time. The gameplay loop is immediate and accessible. Controls are intuitiv…
Abscond 100,000,000 miles away, if 1/13 of a hour long McDoanlds shift could pay for me to have my first perfect game I woulda bought this puppy myself.
The quality and gameplay is literrrayli insane. Such an awesome game!
