SKYWARD — 3D Mountain Hiking & Planet Exploration

Choose emerald forests, amber canyons or a northern snowland. Explore a freshly generated 3D mountain freely in every direction with a stickman hiker. Cross textured terrain, clouds and snow to see the round planet below. Minimal displays, a local altitude record, keyboard on desktop and a bottom-right touch joystick on phones and tablets. WebGL required. Height rises and falls with the terrain; enable the original, relaxed country soundtrack when you wish.

Platforms & play modes

desktop, tablet, mobile. Single-player exploration. No human multiplayer.

Controls

Choose a scene before each expedition; a fresh random seed generates the mountain, rocks and landscape locally. Move freely across the 3D terrain with W/S or ↑/↓ forward/backward and A/D or ←/→ sideways, relative to the camera. Hold Shift to hike faster; drag with the mouse to look. Phones and tablets: use the bottom-right joystick to move, drag the left side to look and hold the ↑↑ button to hike faster. Choose your own route over the mountain through forest, clouds and snow to a summit near a stylized 88,000 m; then the camera pulls back to reveal the round planet. Control an animated stickman hiker. This is a relaxed single-player exploration, with no combat or survival timers; scale is artistic, not a physical Earth model. The height display follows the terrain under your feet: it rises uphill and falls downhill, independently of distance traveled. Your highest altitude is saved separately only in this browser. Esc or P pauses; M toggles a relaxed original country instrumental (fingerpicked guitar, soft bass and slide melody). Every load starts muted. Touch controls suppress long-press menus, selection, double-tap and pinch zoom. Landscape and portrait work.

Free to play. No downloads or sign-up. Sound starts off; enable it manually.
