Hazard Pay
In this pixel-art dystopian block-pushing puzzler, a shadowy client has hired you to navigate a network of hazardous secret labs. Find a way to clean the scene and destroy the ███████. Take the money, do the job, don’t ask questions.











About Hazard Pay
The job is simple: destroy evidence. Leave no trace. Don’t die in the process.
Hazard Pay is a pixel-art block-pushing puzzler set in a crumbling dystopian world. You’ll navigate alone through abandoned and contaminated facilities, dodging environmental hazards while completing your employer’s checklist with calculated efficiency.
Pack up the truck and head to the site. Mop the floors. Remove the evidence. Destroy the ███████. Do not leave anything behind, not even your footsteps.
There’s blood on the floor and smoke in the air. Relax. It’s just another accident to clean up. Do the job properly and no one has to get in trouble.
Each site is a compact, intricate puzzle with moving parts. You can use the environment to gather scattered documents or push ███████ into chemical barrels to erase any wrongdoing. One wrong move, and you could be trapped, dissolved in acid, or worse. Plan ahead. Improvise when you must. Stay sharp.
Global Leaderboards
Even after a job’s done, you can always go back. Every move is tracked, and your final step count determines your rank. Pull off a perfect run, and your name might just show up on the global leaderboard. Compare your stats with friends or the world. Just remember, your employer is always watching.
All you know is the name: IPT. No faces, no meetings. Just a radio, and they talk first. You can feel something’s off. But are you really ready to dig into it? Some things are better left buried.
Will you stay obedient… or resist?
