Driftlight

Pilot a skiff of light through a neon slalom — thread the gates, grab the orbs, outrun the clock.

Works on desktop and phone. Keyboard, mouse and touch.

live scene — demo autopilot

Built from nothing but code

Driftlight is a single page of HTML, CSS and ES modules. Every hull, gate, spire, orb, aurora ribbon, glow and sound wave is generated at runtime by three.js primitives and canvas gradients — there is not one image file, font file or sound file in the build.

From inside the corridor

These pictures are rendered by the page itself, from the same scene you will play.

What makes it tick

Light gates are your fuel. Every gate you thread adds light to your score and buys 2.6 seconds more on the clock.
Streaks multiply. Three clean gates in a row push each gate to 14 light; one hit on a spire resets the streak.
Orbs hide inside gates. Small golden octahedrons, +3 light and half a second each — the riskiest line is the richest.
Three hull sections. Spires rise from the ground, mines bob in the air; a collision costs a hull and dumps your speed.
It gets tighter. The corridor speeds up and the gates crowd closer the longer you survive.

How to play

Goal

Reach 120 light before the clock hits zero, with at least one hull left. Run out of time or hull and the run ends.

Keyboard

Arrows / WASD steer the skiff left, right, up, down.
Space boosts speed, Shift brakes for a careful line.
P or Esc pauses, Enter starts or restarts.

Mouse

Move the pointer away from the centre of the view to steer — no clicking or pointer lock needed.

Touch

An on-screen pad appears on phones: ◀ ▶ ▲ ▼ steer, plus Boost, Brake and Pause.
