Phones and computers

Nothing Is Bolted Down is a trap platformer that plays in the browser on phones, tablets and computers, for one player.

Run and jump to the door through 30 rooms where most rooms lie to you once, with a falling floor, sliding spikes, a fake wall or a door that moves. Each trap fires once and stays marked, so every death teaches you the room. Deaths are counted as your score, and progress is saved room by room.

Tips

A vanishing platform goes 0.3 seconds after you stand on it, so keep moving across it rather than stopping to look.
Only rooms 1 and 30 are honest, and they say so; everywhere else one trap waits, and after it fires a mark stays on it through later deaths.
Hidden springs count as traps too and sometimes help, launching you to a ledge you could not jump to, so a sprung tile is not always bad news.

What counts as the score?

Your deaths. The counter and the total time show at the top, and the end card gives both, with your fewest deaths from earlier full runs. Dying sends you back to the room's start in about half a second, and progress is saved room by room, so you can close the game and come back.

How precise is the jumping?

You run at 260 pixels a second and a jump clears about 2.2 tiles high and 3.5 across. There is 0.09 seconds of coyote time after leaving a ledge, a 0.12 second jump buffer before landing, and letting go of jump early gives a short hop.
