Tangerine Panic
Do you realise how many tangerines there are in the world? What would you do if they all came at you at once?
About
Tangerine Panic is a short endless action game by Gaz Thomas (that's me!). Tangerines inexplicably rain down while you control the stick figure protagonist and try to avoid them. It became a cult favourite in the Flash era for its simple idea, tight dodging, and absurd premise.
How to Play
Each tangerine that reaches the right side of the screen without hitting you scores a point. You have multiple lives; when they are all gone, the run ends. Survive as long as you can and push for a high score.
