Instructions

Walkabout Wardens

A line of little hard-hatted walkers marches out of the hatch and never stops. Hand out jobs, bridge, dig, block and float, to get enough of them to the door. Thirty levels, each one checked solvable.

Play Walkabout Wardens

Free, no sign-up. Keyboard, touch or gamepad.

How to play

  • Left / Right pick a job, Up / Down pick a walker, A hands it out, B speeds time up.
  • Click a job, then click a walker.
  • P to pause.

On touch

  • Tap a job, then tap a walker.
  • A bridge job starts building at the next gap.
  • Tap FAST to speed up time.

Every run starts on the title screen. Pause any time with P or the pause button; calm mode removes flashes and screen shake.

Maker’s note

You get three tries across the run, and leftover time on a cleared level turns into points. The seed shuffles the order of levels inside each tier of five and mirrors some of them, so a daily run is the same walk for everyone.
