HOW TO PLAY

CONTROLS

TAPChange lane. One lane per tap, outward, and it wraps at the edge.

HOLD, THEN RELEASEDash forward and free the creatures you carry. The dash breaks what it hits, and every barrier it breaks pays.

PINCHZoom the camera in or out. Two fingers, during a run. The game keeps your distance.

ZOOMZoom the camera in or out. Mouse wheel, or drag with the right button. L2 and R2 on a controller. The game keeps your distance.

THE SCREEN

SCORETop left. Freeing creatures, or simply running on, raises it.

CREATURES CARRIEDTop right. Up to ten. When it is full, release them.

LIVESThe heart. A hit takes one; a horn gives one back, up to three. With none left, the next hit ends the run.

NEXT GOALUnder them. How many more to free for a bonus, and how far to the gate to the next stage, in turns.

SCORE

COLLECTEach creature adds its value × your multiplier × 3 to the hoard. You carry ten at most.

MULTIPLIER1 + 0.5 per tier. Tiers come from eating. Double or a boost pad doubles it.

RELEASEPays the hoard × a run bonus that climbs the longer the run burns, up to ×3.6.

A HITCosts 4% of your score, half the hoard and a horn. No horn left, the head comes off.

100 FREEDBuys a horn back.

HAZARDS

WALLRed. A hit costs a horn, or your head. Dash through it and it pays.

DRIFTERStage 3. Slides between lanes. An X marks the lane it blocks, a ring the way past.

BUMPERNever kills. Shoves you back, empties the hoard and takes 2% of your score. A dash breaks it.

THE KEEPERA finger comes down and blocks lanes. An X marks the blocked lane, a ring the way past. It thinks first, then strikes.

THE MAGMAStage 4. The lava bubbles, then throws a glob onto a marked lane. Where it lands, a pillar of fire burns for a while. Fire is a hit.

THE GATEBars every lane but one and turns. Dash every slab down, one lane at a time, or it opens on its own.

THE RAINThe last stage. Paving falls from above. An X and a growing shadow mark where it will land.

PICKUPS & PADS

MAGNETPulls creatures in from the lanes beside you.

DOUBLEDoubles the multiplier while it lasts.

SLOWSlows the whole world for a while. One pickup at a time, the new one replaces the old.

HORNOne life back. Offered only when a socket is empty.

BOOST PADFaster, and worth double while it lasts.

ABOUT

A STORY ABOUT LIFE AND REBIRTHYou run on a track that never ends. You eat what you can, you dodge what you must, and in the end you die. Then the loop starts again. Kai's name comes from three Japanese words that all sound like kai: 回, to go around; 甲斐, to be worth it; 開, to open. He goes around and around. Every lap is worth it. Every death opens the next one.

KAIA small pilgrim in a stone mask half as tall as he is. The mask cracked long ago and healed that way. His two horns are his lives. Hit something and one horn breaks. Hit something with no horns left and you lose your head. A broken horn grows back, but not as bone: it is made of the stage you are in. He runs with his head down and rams whatever is in the way.

THE CREATURESMore than fifty strange species, and a different mix every game. They follow Kai in a line, in the order you ate them. Let them go and they spiral up around the monument and leave the world. Every hundred you free grows one horn back.

SIX STAGESFive of the six stages are dark, each lit by one thing. The Moss Ring: an island around a tall crystal. The Pale Tide: pale sand under cold water. The Spore Hollow: mushrooms and drifting spores in the dark. The Magma Field: cracked black rock and glowing melt. The Spine: a road made of bone. The sixth is different. After bone there is nothing left, so The Tear is bright, and it is the bottom of the world. The roads from the stages above fall down as rain, and the five monuments lie broken on an island of glass.

THE KEEPERThis world is a terrarium, and something outside is looking in. A face comes up out of the dark. A hand comes down to block the road. At the bottom of the world the face never appears. Only the hand.

KAI'S GREEDY LOOP Design and code by Hyunsang Cho from Raymind.AI. Built with three.js (MIT). Type: Staatliches and Noto Sans (SIL Open Font License). Every creature, relic and monument was made for this game. Each stage has its own music, and Kai and the keeper have their own voices.
