What you do

Firefly Hollow is a moonlit 3D forest runner starring a scarf-wearing raccoon with a fragile little lantern. The light drains as the run goes on, fireflies refill it, and every bump scatters a bit of glow into the dark.

  • A cozy nighttime forest built with stylized 3D paths, trees, mist, mushrooms, and glowing fireflies.
  • Lantern light works as both timer and health: collect fireflies to keep it burning.
  • Soft hazards like logs, branches, brambles, puddles, and fog cost light instead of ending the run instantly.
  • Swipe and keyboard controls for lane changes, jumping, and sliding.
  • Local best score for one-more-run firefly chasing.

How to play

  1. Stay on the glowing forest path and collect fireflies before the lantern fades.
  2. Move between lanes to follow richer firefly routes.
  3. Jump over ground obstacles when the path gets crowded.
  4. Slide under low branches growing from the passing trees.
  5. Avoid brambles and fog patches when your light is low.

Controls

  • Touch: swipe left or right to change lanes.
  • Touch: swipe up to jump and swipe down to slide.
  • Keyboard: A/D or left/right arrows change lanes.
  • Keyboard: W/up/space jumps, and S/down slides.
  • Keyboard: R restarts after a run.

Tips worth knowing

  • Keep an eye on the lantern meter; low light makes the forest harder to read.
  • Only fireflies refill the lantern; every other object on the path costs light.
  • If it is not a firefly, dodge it.
  • The safest lane is not always the brightest one.

Accessibility

  • Pause and restart controls stay close by.
  • Instructions and controls are available as page text outside the canvas.
  • Keyboard controls are supported for desktop play.
  • Hazards use shape and placement as well as color, and the light meter has text.

Questions

Is Firefly Hollow one-hit failure?

Can I play Firefly Hollow on a tablet?

Yes. It is built around simple swipe controls, with keyboard controls on desktop.

Does Firefly Hollow save my best score?

Yes. Your local best score is stored in your browser.
