How to play
Apprentice courier Neri reconnects eight treetop postal routes with a silk line. Reach the blue postbox; postcards and fast times are optional.
- Hold Swing to attach to the highlighted ring.
- Release to travel forward on your momentum.
- Collect optional postcards on higher paths.
- Land at the blue postbox to deliver.
Land at the blue postbox to deliver. Three optional postcards improve the score. Rescues add five seconds and restore the checkpoint; the effective route limit is 180 seconds.
A delivery unlocks the next route. Reopening a saved checkpoint labels the attempt Interrupted: it can unlock a route, but cannot earn an unassisted medal or personal best. An ordinary same-session pause keeps the live attempt.
Controls
Hold Space or press and hold the play area to catch the highlighted ring. Release to fly, then make a fresh press to attach again. The Pause corner is separate from the swing area.
| Action | Keyboard | Mouse or touch |
|---|---|---|
| Swing (attach / release) | Space (hold / release) | Touch and hold anywhere in the play area |
| Pause | P or Esc | Pause button |
Use P to pause or explicitly resume, M for sound, and F for optional fullscreen. Tab moves between buttons. Game keys work inside the player.
Devices and saving
- Input
- Keyboard or mouse controls; one-finger touch awaits real-device testing.
- Orientation
- Landscape. Turn a portrait device sideways to play.
- Session
- 30–90 seconds per route.
- Graphics
- A current browser with hardware-accelerated WebGL 2. No plug-in or game-specific driver installation.
- Saves
- Route unlocks and separate standard/assisted records are stored on this device. Continuing a route after a reload counts as Interrupted and cannot earn an unassisted medal. 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.
Credits and updates
An original DroidAU Games game. Concept art shows Neri, the silk-line courier, between the treetop postboxes. The playable scene uses original procedural graphics while the final sprite and sound pack is developed. The poster is concept art, not a gameplay screenshot.
We are improving these games from play feedback. Progress and personal bests are saved only on this device.
