How to play

After a storm, Tavi hauls lantern batteries along coastal repair tracks. Two pedals, loose cargo, eight short courses. Safe delivery matters more than speed.

  1. Press gently to move; release before crests.
  2. Brake before landings to protect the crates.
  3. Stop inside the orange checkpoint zone to save the load where a checkpoint is available.
  4. Park on the striped mat with enough intact crates and hold still for one second.

Courses 1–7 need at least two intact crates; course 8 needs all three. Stop level on the six-metre delivery mat for one second, within the three-minute limit.

Delivery unlocks the next course. Gold needs at least 650 points, all three crates and no rescue. Assist keeps separate records.

Controls

Hold both pedals to brake without reversing. Pedal position and key bindings can be changed in Game settings.

Devices and saving

Input
Keyboard and held touch pedals are implemented. Physical-device support is still under test. WebGL 2 and WebAssembly are required.
Orientation
Landscape. Turn a portrait device sideways to play.
Session
30–100 seconds per course.
Graphics
A current browser with hardware-accelerated WebGL 2. No plug-in or game-specific driver installation.
Saves
Course unlocks, medals and settings are stored on this device. A course cannot be resumed after closing the browser. Clearing site data removes it; it does not move between devices.
Compatibility
Checked in a desktop Chromium browser. Physical phone, tablet and broader browser testing is still in progress.

If storage is blocked, the game remains playable and shows “Progress is temporary in this session.” More about saving.

If something goes wrong

Use Retry if a download fails. If graphics cannot start, the rules and controls on this page remain available. Leaving the player or switching tabs pauses local play. Read troubleshooting help.

For a quieter session, mute sound, enable reduced motion in Settings and pause or exit when you are finished. The game is loaded only after Play.
