One adorable bunny, endless deadly traps, and a carrot score you'll keep trying to beat.
Game Overview
Poor Bunny is a fast-paced skill-based arcade platformer developed by Adventure Islands (Jussi Simpanen), the indie creator behind beloved titles like Super Dangerous Dungeons and Total Party Kill. Your mission is simple: eat as many carrots as possible without getting hit — even once.
Don't let the charming pixel art fool you. The premise is easy to learn, but the challenge escalates fast. Traps appear randomly from every direction and grow more intense the longer you survive. One mistimed jump, one moment of distraction — and it's game over. Every run is a fresh test of your reflexes, making Poor Bunny an endlessly replayable high-score chaser.
Key Features
- High-Score Driven Action — Survival and carrot collection are the only goals; pure skill decides how far you climb the leaderboard.

- 100+ Unlockable Skins — Collect carrots to unlock over 100 unique bunnies, from classic white to crystal, wooden, zombie-inspired, and neon designs.
- Escalating Madness — Traps multiply and intensify the longer you survive, keeping every run tense until the very last moment.
- Local Multiplayer — Play solo, team up in co-op, or go head-to-head in local versus — all on the same device.

Game Modes
Poor Bunny offers 3 distinct game modes to keep things fresh:
| Mode | Players | Objective |
|---|---|---|
| Solo (1P) | 1 | Survive as long as possible and reach the highest personal carrot count. |
| Co-op (2P) | 2 | Team up on the same device; revive your partner by running through their spawn point. Game ends when both die. |
| Versus (1v1) | 2 | Compete head-to-head with no respawns. The bunny with the most carrots wins! |
*"Fun little endless game… you can easily sink hours into it despite being just a simple platformer with obstacles. The multiplayer function for competitive two-player is very fun, I highly recommend it."* — Player Review

Know Your Traps
The longer you survive, the deadlier the arena gets. Here are the hazards you'll face:
- Arrow Rain — Showers down from above; use warning indicators to find safe gaps.
- Bombs & Fireballs — Explosive hazards that will punish reckless jumping.
- Ball & Chain — A swinging wrecking ball that sweeps aggressively across platforms.
- Spinning Saws — Horizontal and vertical blades that lock down escape routes.
- Cannons & Lasers — Fire high-speed projectiles from the edges of the screen.
- Spikes — Static and pop-up spikes that punish careless landings.
One hit = instant game over. No health bar, no second chances.
Carrot Economy & Skins
Carrots in Poor Bunny serve double duty — they are your score in the current run and your currency overall. Accumulate carrots to unlock new characters from a massive roster of 100+ skins.
- Classic color variants (Navy, Brown, Black, Beige)
- Special thematic designs (Crystal, Zombie, Robot, Disguised)
- Real-life fur patterns (Spotted, Lop-eared, Tiger Bunny)
*"It's rewarding when you get to unlock a new character. It's always fun to get to know each one and gives you a reason for just one more run."* — Player Feedback
Pro Tips & Tricks
For Solo Survival:
- Rush the early game: Grab carrots aggressively in the first few seconds of a run while the arena is still relatively clear of traps.
- Plan your late-game path: When the screen becomes crowded with hazards, don't blindly dash for the nearest carrot. Plan a viable route first — for example, wait for traps to clear out to the other side, or move in the same direction as the swinging wrecking ball to create a safe window.
- Respect the golden carrot: It's worth 3 points, but it often spawns in dangerous zones. Only go for it if the path is genuinely clear.
For Local Multiplayer:
- In Co-op, revive aggressively: Running through your partner's spawn point costs nothing and can completely save a doomed run.
- In Versus, survival beats collection: Don't chase every carrot when traps are dense. Let your opponent take the risks and make the fatal mistake.
