Swing, latch, collect 50 Sparks.
Play Lumble free online, a 3D collect-a-thon platformer. Use your Latch to swing between platforms, collect 50 Sparks and explore. No download needed.
Move with the keyboard or on-screen stick and jump with the jump control. The camera follows behind and can be swung round, which matters in the clocktower where verticality makes a fixed angle unreadable. Each world is split into zones with coins scattered through them, and progress is a matter of exploring each zone rather than reaching an exit as fast as possible. Your finish time is compared against the world's par - 150 seconds in the garden, 180 in the tidepool, 210 in the clocktower - and a time bonus is awarded on a sliding scale that pays in full at or under par and slides linearly to zero above it. Going over par costs you bonus, not the run.
You collected all the Sparks!

Lumble is a 3D collect-a-thon platformer built around three hand-made worlds rather than procedural sprawl: a garden, a tidepool and a clocktower, each divided into zones and each with its own par time - 150 seconds for the garden, 180 for the tidepool and 210 for the clocktower. Par is not a fail state. It is the top of a sliding time bonus that decays smoothly to zero as you go over it, so a slow, thorough run still scores and a fast one scores more, and the two are not in conflict the way a hard timer would make them. The worlds are built to be read from a distance - lighting, fog density and terrain treatment are configured per biome rather than shared - so where to go next is usually visible rather than something you have to find by exhaustion. Coins are scattered through the zones and are the main collectible. It runs in a browser at 60fps with no download and no plugin, which is unusual for a genre that normally assumes a console. There is nothing to buy, no energy meter, and no account needed to play through all three worlds.

Three, each divided into zones: a garden, a tidepool and a clocktower. They are hand-built rather than generated, and each has its own lighting, fog and terrain treatment so they read as genuinely different places.
150 seconds for the garden, 180 for the tidepool and 210 for the clocktower. Par is the threshold for a full time bonus, not a time limit - going over it reduces the bonus on a linear slide down to zero rather than failing the run.
No. The par time controls a bonus, not a fail state. You can take as long as you like in any world and still finish it and score the coins you collected; you simply earn less of the time bonus the further past par you go.
Yes - Lumble is one. It renders in WebGL at 60fps with no download, no plugin and no launcher, on desktop and on phone. The three worlds are sized to load quickly rather than to fill a disc.
Yes. There is an on-screen stick and jump control, and the camera can be swung with a touch drag, which matters most in the clocktower where the level is vertical. Rendering quality adapts to the device.
No. All three worlds are playable without signing in. An account is only needed for leaderboard submission, achievements and progress that follows you between devices.
