About Homeward Friends!
Homeward Friends! is a puzzle game about finding your way home with a capybara, a cat, and a penguin. Switch between their abilities to push crates, cross water, and glide over ice.
Three friends, three ways forward
- Capybara pushes crates onto buttons to open gates.
- Cat jumps over a single water tile.
- Penguin slides across a stretch of ice to the next dry tile.
Choose a friend and tap the tile you want to reach. Finding the right place for each ability is the key to getting home.
20 puzzles along the way
Start with a simple button and work your way through paths that combine crates, streams, and ice. Complete a puzzle to open the next stage. Collect stars and revisit completed puzzles to try a different approach.
A little help when you need it
Undo a move or open a hint when the path feels unclear. Visit the animal collection to discover your friends' personalities and special abilities.
A quiet winter welcome
Falling snow and glowing lights greet you on the welcome screen. Soft winter scenery and gentle music accompany the journey. Choose English or Korean in Settings, and turn music and sound effects on or off separately.
Energy and optional ads
Starting a new attempt or retry uses 1 energy. You can hold up to 10 energy, with 1 restored every 5 minutes, even while the app is closed.
If you choose, complete a rewarded ad to refill your energy. You can also wait for energy to return and keep playing without watching an ad.
Follow the little footsteps. Let's head home.
