The World of Keep Me Alive
A field guide to everything in the game — the cast, the shield, what falls from the sky, the abilities that help you survive it, where you play, and what you can earn.
The Cast
Every character is purely cosmetic — same shield, same rules, your pick of who's doing the surviving.

The original. Always available.

The Shield
Your one and only control: drag to rotate the shield and decide what gets blocked. Skins change how it looks — and quietly change the numbers behind a run, too.

No bonus, no penalty.

What Falls From the Sky
Everything drops on the same shield-blocking rule. Beneficial items heal on catch; threats damage on contact. Several skins share one effect — they're variety for the eye, not new rules to learn.
