Independent game guide
PokéLit Survivor beginner guide
In PokéLit Survivor your partner attacks automatically. Spend your first run learning to steer around the swarm, collecting experience when the route opens and using upgrades to create room to move. The free browser game requires an account on the fan project’s own site.
Controls on desktop and mobile
Move with WASD or the arrow keys and press Esc to pause on desktop. On a phone, hold it in landscape and drag to move with the touch joystick. The pause button is in the upper right.
How to choose your first partner
Start with a partner whose attack is easy to read while you steer. In your first encounter, watch where the attack lands and how long it takes before it fires again. If you cannot clear enemies along your escape route, try a move with broader coverage and see which one gives you more space. The PokéLit guide links to current move and partner information.
A plan for your first run
- Move in a wide loop. If the horde starts closing in from both directions, head towards the open side early so you have room to turn.
- Pick up experience on the next pass. Lead the pack away from dense drops, circle around and return when the route clears.
- Use each level-up to solve a problem. If your starting attack already opens gaps, try upgrading it. If enemies survive on the side you are trying to escape through, pick a move that covers that gap.
- Leave marked attack zones early. When a circle or beam marker appears ahead, steer around it before the attack lands. If a healer keeps a pack alive, loop until you can get an angle on the healer.
How to play PokéLit with friends
Sign in, add friends by nickname, open Multiplayer and invite them into a room. The original game supports up to four players, including the host. During a run you share experience. To revive a teammate, stand beside them when you have space to do so.
If an invite is missing, first check the nickname and confirm both players opened the same PokéLit site and signed in. If you plan to use multiple devices, the game’s sign-in notice recommends linking Google to your existing account so you can recover it later.
