Field notes
Kicked Out's longer description divides the run into a one-minute escape from an apartment, day-to-day survival, escalating nighttime threats, and a $100 goal for a roof. The Grit Shot demo uses a needle-and-target timing mechanic, with a perfect shot worth three points and each shot getting faster. The page also gives separate email addresses for general, press, and business inquiries.
