Firefly Hollow

Run the hollow, chase the bright path, and do not let the lantern fade.

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.

Game features

• 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

• Stay on the glowing forest path and collect fireflies before the lantern fades.
• Move between lanes to follow richer firefly routes.
• Jump over ground obstacles when the path gets crowded.
• Slide under low branches growing from the passing trees.
• 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

• 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.
