Play:

Touch: Not supported - confirmed on a real phone-sized touch viewport that only keyboard/controller schemes are offered, with no on-screen touch controls of any kind · Keyboard: A/Left Arrow and D/Right Arrow to move, S/Down Arrow to drop, W/Up Arrow to interact, Spacebar to jump (full controller support also available)

About:

A pixel-art Unity WebGL platformer built for GameDev.js Jam 2023. Movement is A/D or arrows, drop is S, interact is W, jump is Space, with full controller support too, confirmed genuinely functional: real held key presses produced real leftward/rightward movement, and a real jump visibly warped the whole scene into a dramatically different time/scale state matching the game's premise. Correctly shipped desktop-only, since the title screen documents only keyboard and controller schemes with no touch handling found anywhere on a real touch viewport.

Phone check: 2026-09-08: confirmed the title screen's documented keyboard/controller-only control scheme matches the actual game, with no touch handling found anywhere, including on a real phone-sized touch viewport. Played on desktop: real held A/D key presses produced real character movement, and a real held Space press triggered a jump that visibly warped the whole scene, matching the time-warping premise. No third-party analytics found.
