Journey Through Hell

Why We Picked Journey Through Hell

There is no inventory in Journey Through Hell worth managing, which keeps the pace up and the menus empty. A small map, a clear goal, and no apology at all for the scale. Exploration is rewarded with shortcuts rather than collectibles, which keeps the pace up. It earns the slot by being finishable in a sitting without feeling small while you are in it. On the record: 159 of 183 on the adventure shelf, 4.3 out of 5 from 7 ratings, and 456 plays.

How to Play

The page documents very little, so these are the things worth knowing before you spend time on it:

• Keyboard games need a desktop browser; mobile browsers rarely pass arrow keys through to an iframe.
• Finish the stage rather than clear it, because most of these do not ask for a full sweep.
• Collect on the way through, not on the way back.

Editor’s Note

It runs on a phone, though the smaller screen hides the edges of the level you need to see. Most of these run on a keyboard or a pointer; a few accept touch, and none require a plugin or a download.
