About 2 MiB engine · original game files imported locally

Import your game files as a folder or ZIP. Files stay in your browser. See the instructions below for a demo or full copy.

Ready when you are.

Saves

Escape → Save checkpoint → slot writes a native level-start checkpoint. Load restarts that level and difficulty; position, health, score and inventory are not retained. Four slots and settings stay in this browser when storage is available. Stop preserves written checkpoints and exits natively; it does not save the current position automatically. Page Pause freezes time and audio. Original files remain local and can be stored separately for the next session. Clearing site data removes local files and checkpoints.
