Canvas, phone and account: Lone Genesis in the browser

Lone Genesis is a 2D canvas. Alpha off, smoothing off, pixels snapped to the tile. The ground is not fully repainted every step: each soil chunk sits on an off-screen canvas and is reused until you hoe or the snow changes. On a phone the canvas is smaller, there is a virtual stick, fewer chunk jobs and fewer effects. A finger must not scroll the page while you move the character.

The infinite world does not sit whole in the browser. We generate around the player and drop distant pieces. The save goes through the Lost in Pixel account: farm, buildings, inventory, position. Close the tab, change PC, come back: it is the same world. It is not a file in the cache.

It opens from the site, on a computer or a phone, after sign-in. We do not require a store. We require an account because the world is yours, not the session’s.
