Demon on the Run– A 2D Platformer from the Depths

Demon on the Run is a fast-paced 2D platformer where you take control of a rebellious demon determined to break free from the eternal prison of the underworld.

You weren’t supposed to be here. Born from fire but filled with something different—something defiant—you’ve always questioned the rules of Hell. Now, in the deepest pit, you've made your choice: escape or be destroyed.

Dash through collapsing caverns, leap over rivers of molten lava, and avoid the grasp of hellspawn guards as you make your desperate climb to the surface. Precision, timing, and guts are your only tools.

Made in Just 2 Days!

This game was created during the **Webster University Game Design Summer Camp** as part of a 2-day challenge. Every sprite, mechanic, and level was built from scratch in a tight time frame, showcasing the creativity and speed of a young development team.

The Lore

In the deepest layer of Hell, demons are forged to serve forever. But one has broken the mold.

Known only as “Ash,” this demon was born from the wrong fire. Unlike the others, Ash remembers… something else. A world above. A spark of freedom. Now, as the chains loosen and the infernal alarms sound, Ash makes a mad dash for the only exit ever whispered about in legend—a cursed gate rumored to lead to the mortal world.

But nothing escapes Hell easily.
