About The Lost Joystick
The Lost Joystick starts with a theft: someone has taken your joystick, and they clearly have no idea who they are dealing with. Getting it back is the whole mission, and the route runs through a string of platform levels drawn in a bright, psychedelic pixel-art style full of strange creatures.
Each level asks for the same handful of things done well. You jump around looking for coins and keys, defeat the monsters in your way, and avoid the traps scattered across the stages. Keys are the item to keep an eye on, while coins and hidden treasures reward a thorough search of every corner. The setup is deliberately plain, and the odd enemies and colourful levels carry the charm. The screen is landscape, and the game runs on phones and computers.

How to play The Lost Joystick
Objective
Jump through each level collecting coins and keys, defeat the monsters and avoid the traps, and keep going until you win back your stolen joystick.
Getting started
- Rotate your phone to landscape before starting, because The Lost Joystick fills a wide, sideways screen.
- Start the first level and get a feel for the jump on safe ground before going near any trap.
- Search the level for coins and keys, jumping up to platforms that look out of reach.
- Defeat the monsters that block your way, and watch for traps as you explore.
Tips
- Coins and keys are both part of every level, so explore each stage fully instead of rushing straight across it.
- Monsters can be killed, so clearing one off a platform makes a coin or key near it far safer to collect.
- Traps sit among the platforms; look before each jump, because a careful hop around a hazard beats a fast leap straight into one.
