A Slight Chance of Sawblades

A storm is coming—and this time, umbrellas won’t save you. In A Slight Chance of Sawblades, the skies open up not with rain, but with ruthless, spinning, razor-sharp sawblades! Your only hope? Precise timing, fast reflexes, and a whole lot of jumping.

Developed with passion by a mostly solo creator, this fast-paced arcade game challenges players to dodge, somersault, and survive an ever-growing storm of blades. Compete on global leaderboards, unlock dozens of wacky characters, and customize your chaos. 

Skill-Based Score-Chasing Gameplay

The gameplay is simple to learn but tough to master. The longer you survive, the higher your score climbs—but with every passing second, the pressure ramps up. React quickly, think fast, and push your skills to the limit.

Fast-Paced Action with Time Pressure

Each jump earns you precious time. Move too slowly, and you’ll be overwhelmed. Speed is survival. Execute perfectly timed jumps to regain time and avoid sudden death. The clock is always ticking.

Retro 8-Bit Style Music

Immerse yourself in a crunchy, retro soundtrack that sets the tone for chaos. The juicy 8-bit style music adds to the arcade charm and keeps your adrenaline pumping as the sawblades fall.

Unlock Wild & Quirky Characters

Why survive as a boring stick figure when you can dodge sawblades as a skateboarding dog or a pixelated pineapple? Unlock dozens of bizarre and lovable characters, sawblade skins, and backgrounds to make each run uniquely yours.

Customization Galore

Mix and match your favorite characters, hazards, and settings. Fancy dodging ninja stars as a frog? Or escaping a storm of meteorites as a UFO? Customize visuals to your heart’s content and make the chaos your own.

Phantom Mode

Ready to test your spatial awareness? Your character is invisible. Survive using pure instinct and skill in this unforgiving challenge.
