Game Information

Short Introduction:

In B'ak'tun, which is Mayan for use in cycles of time, you take on the role of a godlike butterfly with similarities to a phoenix. As this majestic creature you flutter through a desolate place and use the ashes of your own deaths to bring life to the earth beneath you. In this game you want to die, but for a good purpose.

Brief Play Description:

The game borrows some of its systems from auto-runner games like Canabalt and Robot Unicorn Attack, but the difference is that you want to hit all the death inducing obstacles as fast as possible trying your best to keep speed and lose life as opposed to control speed and stay alive. If you miss enough obstacles your speed loss will eventually stop you from moving forward so keep moving and dying to bring new life!
