An internet game that simulates the escape of Yahya Sinwar in the Gaza tunnels, when the IDF is chasing him, but it doesn't matter how far he runs, the IDF will find him in the end.

The Idea
The entire project was created in response to the war started by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and I completed it within one month as a reaction to the situation Israel found itself in.
In Escape from Gaza, players step into the role of Yihya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, as he navigates the dangerous underground tunnels of Gaza to evade the relentless pursuit of the IDF. This fast-paced, endless runner game, inspired by Temple Run and Subway Surfers, challenges you to survive as long as possible while collecting dollar bills scattered throughout the tunnels.
Map Design
The tunnels of Gaza are brought to life with meticulously crafted 3D models designed in Blender. The map is built from three core types of tiles: Straight paths, Turn right/left sections, and Sideways shifts, offering a dynamic, ever-changing landscape. Materials were added to the tiles to replicate the look and feel of the real Gaza tunnels, immersing players in an intense, high-stakes environment as they attempt to outrun the IDF.
Obstacles
The journey through the tunnels isn’t easy—players will need quick reflexes to dodge the dangers that lie ahead. You’ll encounter missile parts scattered across the ground, forcing you to jump over them, and ripped electric cables hanging from the ceiling that you must slide under to avoid getting electrocuted. Stay sharp as the obstacles get trickier the farther you run!
