HOW TO PLAY

Your life is time.
If your lifetime reaches zero, the run ends.

Resources do not stay forever, so collect wood and stone quickly.
Your inventory also decays, so stored resources can disappear over time.

To pick up wood or stone, first bring it inside your red range circle.
Only resources inside your red range circle can be selected.
Use the arrow keys to select a resource that is inside your red range circle.
Press Space to claim the selected resource before it disappears.

Collect wood and stone to craft tools like the axe and pickaxe.
Tools help you automatically pick up resources inside your red range circle.
