🛠️ CRAFT YOUR OWN CHAOS: Use the built-in Level Editor to design the ultimate morning nightmare!
Unfortunately, today it's Archie's turn.
A broken alarm clock was just the opening act. Now, Archie must face a city that has transformed into a massive, lethal Rube Goldberg machine—where even the laws of physics are conspiring to ensure his failure.
20 minutes to the meeting. It’s a sprint against a meticulously designed gauntlet of "Accidental Malice." Falling AC units, rogue taxis, and erupting manholes aren’t just obstacles; they are part of a grand, absurd chain reaction designed to physically dismantle poor Archie.
