Infrared Escape

Infrared Escape is not just your typical arcade game. It combines the thrill of fast-paced gameplay with an educational twist. Developed by EarthGames, this HTML5 game aims to teach players about the greenhouse effect while they have fun.

In the game, you take on the role of an infrared light beam, desperately trying to make it out to space. However, your path is obstructed by pesky greenhouse gases that you must dodge by tapping left or right. Each collision with a greenhouse gas causes your beam to lose energy, and if you continuously graze these gases, it's game over.

The game is divided into levels, each representing a layer of the Earth's atmosphere. Successfully making it through the atmosphere and into space is an accomplishment in itself. It signifies that your infrared ray has played a part in cooling down the Earth and offsetting global warming.

To cater to players of varying skill levels, the game offers different difficulty modes. The easiest mode is set in the year 1850 when there were significantly fewer greenhouse gases in the air. As you progress to harder difficulties, you will find yourself in a more polluted future where greenhouse gases are tightly packed in the air. Conquering this mode will require lightning-fast reaction times.

But the fun doesn't end there. As you escape to space, you not only prevent energy from warming the planet, but you also earn energy that can be spent in the shop. In the shop, you can unlock science facts about the greenhouse effect and discover solutions to climate change. This unique feature adds an educational element to the game, allowing players to learn about the real-world implications of their actions.

Infrared Escape is a game that breaks the mold by combining entertainment with education. It offers a unique and engaging way to learn about the greenhouse effect while challenging your gaming skills. So why not give it a try and see if you have what it takes to escape to space and make a difference in the fight against global warming?
