ASCII CRAZY Street

ASCII Crazy Street is a fast, minimalist lane-runner where every tick can end your run. You’re boxed inside a narrow street and obstacles rain from above, tap A/D to slide between gaps and survive long enough to rack up points. Each obstacle you dodge speeds the game up and increases spawn pressure, so a calm stroll becomes a frantic sprint in seconds. Dial in your challenge first: adjust map height and road width, pick a speed preset, raise or lower spawn chance, and even recolor the player and obstacles.
