Android 7.0+ · ARM64 phones · landscape. Open the APK on your phone and allow installation from your browser if Android asks. This is an early tester build, outside Google Play. Install future updates over this app to keep progress. Latest update: one Start Run takes you through side-view stages, portal corridors and bosses. Portal encounters are part of normal progression. Android touch actions now activate once, and returning from the home screen leaves the run paused. Physical-phone comfort and performance testing remain pending.

Field Notes

Short, specific feedback helps. Notes are public during this Web playtest.

No accounts, emails, analytics, raw IP storage, or user-agent storage. Route-specific limits use bounded, temporary, secret-keyed aggregate client buckets; unrelated visitors can share a bucket, but there is no single global anonymous bucket. Reports flag visible notes for authenticated moderation but never hide them automatically. Staging data uses a free Render database that expires after 30 days and has no backups.
