Gameplay
Move or Die is a competitive four-player game in which each player controls one colored blob whose health drops rapidly if they stop moving for a moment, and regenerates if they resume movement. Different rules or modifiers are added in each round, with additional failure states varying between modes. The challenge arises from requiring players to keep moving to win, while avoiding hazards such as death tiles or falling blocks. Players can also attempt to push each other around, including into hazards.{{cite web |last=Dale |first=Laura |date=6 May 2016 |title=Move or Die is fast, chaotic, and an absolute blast |url=https://www.destructoid.com/move-or-die-is-fast-chaotic-and-an-absolute-blast-359644.phtml |publisher=Destructoid |access-date=29 May 2018 |archive-date=8 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108115143/https://www.destructoid.com/move-or-die-is-fast-chaotic-and-an-absolute-blast-359644.phtml |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=LeClair |first=Kyle |date=17 February 2016 |title=Review: Move or Die |url=https://www.hardcoregamer.com/2016/02/17/review-move-or-die/193393/ |website=Hardcore Gamer |access-date=29 May 2018 |archive-date=28 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181028033758/https://www.hardcoregamer.com/2016/02/17/review-move-or-die/193393/ |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=Pereira |first=Chris |date=29 June 2017 |title=Rick And Morty Characters Added For Free To PC Party Game Move Or Die |url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rick-and-morty-characters-added-for-free-to-pc-par/1100-6451269/ |publisher=GameSpot |access-date=29 May 2018 |archive-date=6 December 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191206163452/https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rick-and-morty-characters-added-for-free-to-pc-par/1100-6451269/ |url-status=live }}
