Retro Sprunki
By Mapi Games
Retro Sprunki puts you in charge of a small orange character hopping through pixel-art ruins and forests, grabbing sparkling jewels while rolling stones come at him from the sides. Three hearts sit in the top-left corner and a running score climbs in the top-right, so the aim is simple: last longer and collect more than your previous best. It plays free in your browser, no download.

How to Play Retro Sprunki
You move Sprunki left and right along a stone ledge and jump with the third button. Jewels and coin-like pickups float above the platform and on the ground, and each one you touch pushes the score counter in the corner higher. The level never ends, so there's no finish line to reach — the score is the whole point.
The danger is the round stones. They appear at the edges of the screen and roll across the walkway, and getting caught costs one of the three hearts shown as pixel icons at the top left. Two stone gateways and a lone tree mark the lane, giving you spots to line up a jump from. Difficulty builds the longer you survive, so stones keep coming while you're still trying to reach jewels drifting higher in the air. Lose all three hearts and the run is over; start again and try to beat the number you left behind.
Tips
- Watch both edges of the screen, not just ahead — stones enter from the left and the right.
- Jump early rather than late; a stone rolls along the ledge at a steady pace and you want to be airborne before it arrives.
- Don't chase every high jewel. Dropping back onto the walkway right as a stone passes is how hearts disappear.
- Use the gaps under the two stone gateways as reference points for where you'll land after a jump.
- You have three hearts, so an early hit isn't fatal — steady your rhythm instead of panicking for score.
Features
- Endless levels with difficulty that ramps up the longer you last
- Retro pixel art set in eerie forest and ruin backdrops
