Only for iPhone

iPhone
Touch anything and it's over. One tired office worker against a city that will not let him reach his desk. Every death has a punchline. No ads, no IAP, works offline.
You just have to get to the office. That's it. That's the whole game.
Impossible Commute is a one-hit-death pixel platformer about a guy who is already late. A bicycle clips you, you're done. A pigeon takes off in your face, you're done. There are no checkpoints, and the street does not care.
The good news: dying is the funny part.
WHAT YOU DO
- Hold the left side of the screen to walk left, the right side to walk right
- Tap JUMP to jump
- Touch anything and you're done
You cannot steer in mid-air. Pick your landing before you leave the ground, or don't leave it at all.
WHAT'S BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DESK
Speeding bicycles. A taxi that ignores the light. People walking into you while staring at their phones. Pigeons. Falling bird droppings. A dog that slips its leash. A convenience store door that opens at the worst possible moment. Preschoolers pouring out of a bus. A wall of schoolkids on their way to class. Loiterers flicking lit cigarettes at your ankles. Ticket gates that close on you. A light bulb that drops from the station ceiling. And a boss who is very, very angry.
All of it, for the crime of going to work.
THE DEATHS ARE THE POINT
Every time you die, he says something. "The pavement is kinder than my boss." "I should have taken the day off." You also see exactly how far you got before the street won. Turn any death — or any finish — into an image and send it to whoever needs to see it.
THREE RUNS A DAY
You get three runs per day, refilled at 5 AM. Retries inside a run are unlimited: die as many times as you like and restart on the spot. A run only ends when you quit to the title screen or actually make it.
This game is not built to eat your evening. It's built for the few minutes before you have to leave.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The game speaks English now, plus a long list of things that make it nicer to play.
ENGLISH
If your device language is English, everything is in English automatically. There is no language menu to hunt for.
EASIER TO LIVE WITH
- When you're out of runs for the day, the game no longer shows a "Tap to start" you can't press. It tells you when your runs come back instead.
- Runs now refill at 5 AM in your own time zone. If you're not in Japan, "comes back at 5 AM" finally means what it says.
- The death screen's quit button now matches the pause screen, and both warn you that quitting will spend one of today's runs.
- The follow button on the title screen is a real button now, so touching the bottom of the screen no longer opens your browser by accident.
- Text wraps and resizes per screen, so nothing gets cut off on smaller phones.
- VoiceOver now reads the buttons aloud.
SHARING
Shared images now carry the account name, so anyone who sees your worst death can find their way back to us.
FIXES
- Fixed a crash when choosing "Save Image" from the share sheet.
- Added a quiet review prompt after you finish the stage.
Thanks for playing.
