Lab Getaway is a 2D physics-based action puzzle game. Players control a character escaping a laboratory filled with deadly traps. Using a grappling rope mechanism, you swing off walls, collect potions, and avoid hazards to clear each level.
### Core Gameplay
**Objective:** Collect the required number of potions in each level to unlock the next stage.
**Controls:**
- **Tap the screen** — the character fires a rope in the direction they are facing. When the rope latches onto a wall, the character swings and flies along the rope's trajectory.
- While flying, touching another wall causes the character to flip and land, continuing to walk along the wall.
**Movement Mechanics:**
- The character walks along walls by default.
- At wall edges, the character naturally turns the corner.
- In flight, striking a wall triggers a wall-flip landing.
### Level System
The game features **30 levels** across two maps:
- **Map 1**: Levels 1–15 (potions needed: 1–3)
- **Map 2**: Levels 16–30 (potions needed: mostly 3)
Some levels also contain collectible diamond stones.
