Start in Ancient Forest

The creator’s browser edition opens with Ancient Forest, marked 1/10. In our checks, the starting HUD showed three hearts and separate blue, gold and purple collection counters of 0/4, 0/4 and 0/1. Read the current counters before exploring; a coin pickup is not the same as completing the crystal objective.

Why a fixed route may not match your game

Restarting the first level changed the starting corridor and minimap in our session. Compare the two captures below: the visible junctions and item positions differ. Use your current minimap rather than copying a sequence of turns from another attempt.

Test scope: these are first-level starts and restart checks recorded on October 1, 2026. We have not completed this level or verified a route to the key and portal.

A useful way to approach the maze

These are navigation suggestions to try, rather than a verified winning route:

  1. Check the minimap at each junction and choose one branch to explore.
  2. Note the last junction before entering a dead end so you can retrace your path.
  3. Check which collection counter changes when you pick something up.
  4. Recheck the map after restarting; the old route may no longer apply.

Pause before leaving

The pause button opens Resume, Restart and Quit to Menu. Resume returns to the current run. In our test, Restart reset the timer and generated a different first-level layout.

Which version is this?

Can I play it on a phone?

The creator lists mobile touch support, and our browser session displayed a virtual joystick and Sprint button. Physical-phone controls and level completion have not yet been verified.
