# SKYWARD

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.

## Questions and answers

### What kind of game is this?

immersive 3D mountain hiking browser game; procedural mountain climbing with touch joystick; forest clouds snow and a round planet reveal; relaxed exploration with local altitude record.

### Which devices are supported?

desktop, tablet, mobile.

### Can friends play together?

Single player. No human multiplayer or online multiplayer.

### What are the 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.

### Is it free, and does it require an account or download?

Free browser game, with no sign-up or installation.

### How do language and sound work?

English and Simplified Chinese. The portal passes the selected language; English is the default and games have no separate language selector. Every load starts muted; sound requires explicit opt-in.
