Hazard Pay

Step into the shoes of a daring worker and survive the world's most chaotic factory in Hazard Pay. This challenging 2D platformer throws you into a facility where nothing is safe. Floors disappear without warning, doors actively run away, and deadly spikes spring up exactly where you land. Your goal is simple: navigate through 60 hand-built, treacherous shifts, collect your hard-earned hazard pay, and spend it on fun cosmetic hats and trails. Remember, the safest-looking path is often the most dangerous trap.

How To Play Hazard Pay

You begin by choosing one of three unique workers, each with a special ability to help navigate the perilous factory. Cinder the salamander can wall-jump, Pip the crash-test dummy gets a double-jump, and Rivet the robot hovers and scans for hidden dangers. Your mission is to guide your chosen character through increasingly difficult levels, avoiding all the environmental hazards to reach the end of each shift.

Controls and Features

Movement is handled with the arrow keys or A and D. Jump with Space, W, Up, or Z, and hold the button to jump higher. Down or S lets you drop through thin platforms. Press R to restart a level and Esc to pause. Each character has a unique skill: Cinder slides down walls, Pip jumps again mid-air, and Rivet hovers to reveal secrets.

Tips

Don't trust the environment. If a platform looks stable, it might vanish. Watch for spikes that pop up from the floor. Use your character's special ability to reach new areas or avoid traps. Experiment with all three workers to see which one fits your playstyle best.
