Hiro’s Adventure gets a complete HTML5 recreation

Choose Original or a completed HTML5 adventure with nine areas, repaired animation and terrain, combat, checkpoints, equipment upgrades and a final guardian.

Hiro’s Adventure now has two editions. Original keeps the surviving game available as it was preserved. The HTML5 Recreation uses recovered original landscapes, character sprites, music and effects in a completed adventure across nine mountain, village and cave areas.

Gather a crystal shard in each area, cross its gate and continue toward the Heart Gate. Double jump over the mountain paths, swim through the flooded caves, use a sword or recharging blaster against monsters, and defeat the cavern guardian before opening the final gate.

Native character animation separates the live hero from stationary reference artwork. Terrain collision follows the painted maps. Waystones restore health and save checkpoints; the pack provides healing candy, Mulla-funded weapon and armor upgrades, a journey map, and save backup and restore controls.

Keyboard, on-screen touch controls and compatible browser gamepads are supported for gameplay and menus. Original and HTML5 progress remain separate and are stored on this device. Choose either edition from the game page, and switch editions from the play toolbar.
