About Poor Bunny
Poor Bunny is a precision platformer built around one central joke that quickly stops being funny: nearly every step is a trap. The game presents a cute bunny navigating what appear to be simple platformer levels, but spikes, hidden pitfalls, and trick platforms are packed into every screen. The difficulty is firmly in the "masocore" tradition — the game is supposed to kill you constantly, and the design treats deaths not as failures but as the learning mechanism.
Each level is relatively short by conventional platformer standards, typically spanning a single scrolling screen or a few connected rooms. The brevity is deliberate: you restart at the beginning of the level (not a checkpoint mid-level), so levels need to be completable in under a minute once you have memorized the layout. The problem is that the trap placements are often deliberately counter-intuitive — safe-looking ground that is actually spikes, a jump that looks makeable but is one pixel short, a platform that disappears the moment you land.
Progression is linear through numbered levels, and the difficulty escalates sharply. The first few levels are genuinely accessible and introduce the game's vocabulary: spikes have clear visual design, platforms are stable, and the bunny's jump arc is reliable. By mid-game, the vocabulary is being weaponized against you: the same visual cues that indicated safety now indicate traps, and you have to second-guess every instinct the early levels built.
Poor Bunny has attracted a following among players who enjoy the satisfaction of conquering something that initially seems impossible. Completing a level that killed you 40 times produces a disproportionate sense of achievement — which is exactly the emotional loop the game is designed around.

Controls
How to Play
- 1Move right by default — the bunny always needs to reach the level exit, usually on the far right or top of the screen.
- 2Look before you jump. Scan each new section for unusual tile patterns, slight color variations, or suspicious empty spaces — these signal traps.
- 3Die, note exactly what killed you, and restart. The level layout is fixed — every trap is in the same place every run. Death is information.
- 4On subsequent attempts, navigate around the trap you just identified. Repeat until you have memorized the full level.
- 5Reach the exit to complete the level. Your death count is visible — finishing with a low count is a secondary challenge for experienced players.
Tips & Tricks
- Treat every surface as a trap until proven otherwise. Touch the edge of a new platform tile before committing your full weight. If you die, at least you die at the boundary rather than in the middle of a gap.
- Slow down at every screen transition. New sections often place a lethal trap in the first tile after the edge of the previous screen, precisely because you are moving fast from the previous section.
- The jump arc in Poor Bunny is consistent. A maximum jump covers exactly the same distance every time. Learning the physical maximum jump range early lets you judge impossible gaps before attempting them.
- Do not rush to the next level after finally beating a hard one. Take a breath. Emotional carryover frustration causes the same kinds of hasty mistakes that the previous level trained you to avoid.

FAQ
The game contains multiple numbered levels of escalating difficulty. The exact count varies by version, but the game typically offers 15–30 levels depending on the build.
No — deaths restart the full level from the beginning. Level brevity compensates for this: most levels are designed to be completable in under 60 seconds once the trap layout is memorized.
Poor Bunny is an independent browser game in the masocore platformer tradition. It shares design DNA with games like "I Wanna Be The Guy" and "Getting Over It" but is not directly related to any franchise.
