About Sleeping Unicorn

How to play Sleeping Unicorn
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. On desktop the arrow keys / WASD do the moving; the full mapping is in the table below. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |
| Spacebar | Primary action |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Sleeping Unicorn stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
