Enable JavaScript to play. Your game saves stay in this browser.How to playArrows or WASD move. Z / X dig left / right. Space pauses. Hold the touch arrows to move; use the two Dig buttons for traps.

Climb ladders and hang from ropes. Down releases a rope. Unsupported characters fall; you cannot jump.

Some lanterns are buried inside brick: dig beside them, then drop into the opening and leave sideways. Holes close after about six seconds. Stone cannot be dug.

Beetles keep chasing while you move or wait. Bait them into holes and cross over their heads. They climb out onto a nearby ledge after a few seconds; standing above one as it escapes is dangerous. Contact or closing brick ends the room.

Collect every lantern to reveal the exit. Twelve distinct rooms progress from a tutorial to a watch that matches your speed. Later rooms require digging, and the hardest routes need several traps. Retry keeps the current room.
