You try very hard to stay alive as long as possible in Dumb Ways to Die while avoiding some really stupid ways to die.
In Dumb Ways to Die, all of the characters are pulled into dangerous situations. It's your job to keep them alive, and you'll get points for that.
Every cute and odd figure, which represents a different minigame, is about to die in a different way. You get 100 points at the end of the game and move on to the next round. You may also get extra points or lose points from time to time. These are chosen at random and have nothing to do with how well you actually did.
Have fun and good luck!
