Field guide

Survive.
Grow stronger.

KRAIVORN is a browser-based 2D survival game. You start alone, fight off waves of creatures, collect experience, choose upgrades, and prepare to face bosses.

01 · BASICS

How a run works

Every system serves one goal: survive longer and set a new anonymous record.

01Keep moving

Use WASD or the arrow keys. The map follows the hero and expands after every wave.

02Collect experience

Creatures drop blue orbs. Pick them up to fill the next-level bar.

03Choose an upgrade

After leveling up, three random cards appear. The chosen effect lasts until the run ends.

04Defeat the boss

A powerful boss arrives before a new creature type appears. Defeating it opens the field shop.
