Hard Game 2 is a side-scrolling platformer that lives up to its name. You run, jump, dash, and slide toward each level's finish point while obstacles try to end your run on contact. It is free in the browser and plays unblocked at school or work where browser games are allowed. No download, no account, just one more attempt at a level that keeps beating you.

What you do in Hard Game 2

It is a 2D precision platformer in the deliberately tough style. You move a character across a hazard-filled stage and try to reach the finish without touching anything that kills. There is no health to spare, so any mistake sends you back to the start. The loop is read the layout, time your inputs, fail, and repeat until you get a clean run. It was made by MartyPartyFun and released in March 2022.

Keys for movement and dashing

The controls are short and responsive, so deaths come down to timing rather than fumbled buttons.
