Between a Hawk and a Hard Place
Between a Hawk and a Hard Place
A fall from grace... or a flight to freedom?
Snatched from your peaceful life by the unforgiving talons of a hawk, you are a tiny mouse with a big problem. Dropped into a deep, hollow log, your only way out is down. Plummet through a treacherous vertical world, where danger lurks behind every splinter and the shadow of the hawk is never far behind.
Welcome to Between a Hawk and a Hard Place—a fast-paced survival game where quick reflexes and a bit of cleverness are all that stand between you and becoming dinner.
A Desperate Descent
Guide our resourceful hero through a perilous descent inside a massive, hollowed-out log. This game is designed for mobile play!
TAP a side of the screen to scurry left or right, dodging dangerous obstacles, strange fungi, and hungry predators.
TAP BOTH SIDES at the same time (or A and D on computer) to deploy your secret weapon: a makeshift parachute crafted from a hawk's own feather! Slow your fall to gracefully glide past hazards and plan your next move.
