Arrow keys, WASD, swipe or the pad
Use arrow keys, W A S D, swipe the map, or tap the direction pad. Uptown is up; downtown is down. This is a pretend game map: its subway and ferry shortcuts are not real routes.
City fact
Manhattan's street grid was planned in 1811. Streets run east to west, and avenues run north to south.
How to play & power-ups
- Collect every gold key to clear a neighborhood. You have three lives.
- Pretzels turn the pigeons blue so HELEN can chase them.
- A hot dog gives HELEN a burst of speed. A burger gives her a cape and draws nearby keys toward her.
- Green subway doors and ferry docks are playful shortcuts.
- Press P or Escape to pause. Sound starts off; turn it on whenever you like.
