Dodge the small talk to enjoy your walk.
SOCIALLY WALKWARD is a one-button retro arcade runner about the dread of bumping into someone you vaguely know. Tap to leap past acquaintances, watch your Masking Meter, and don't let the sensory overload catch up with you.
A love letter to 90s hypercolor — hot pink, electric yellow, cyan — and to anyone who's ever crossed the street to avoid a hello.

— RETRO RUNNER, MODERN POLISH —
Think Crossy Road meets the high street on a bad day. Pixel art, pulsing neon, and the satisfying snap of a perfectly timed dodge.
