A fire is alight within you, calling you onward. Will you capture that spark & make it back home?

There are options in-game to turn down some graphical effects, but these may not always help. ⪧ Please close other tabs or programs & reload this page if you see question marks or experience random lag spikes. This will lower RAM usage. ⪧ I highly recommend playing on Turbowarp for lower RAM usage, better graphics, & less lag: https://turbowarp.org/1374113303?hqpen&clones=Infinity&offscreen&limitless ⪻ OP SAVECODE ⪼ p1h″ॏ0e]f"g«h’nὤoἲpἀqᾆrᾷsῡvͶwΙxϓyЇzПa⁋9{Ó⌉’ƘƳȺɎxa]ta (Lucas - Quick Silver Class - 16 of all materials - All special items, abilities, & lore logs unlocked) ⪻ OFFICIAL WIKI ⪼ https://compass.fandom.com/wiki/Compass_III:_Vagabond ⪻ CREDITS ⪼ Synthwave soundtrack from Electronic Gems on YT: ⪧ Axium Waves - "Just for a Moment" ⪧ Tape Arcade - "Luna" & "Eclipse" ⪧ Ogster & Afterift - "Atmos" ⪧ Space Cassette - "Dream Theory" ⪧ Jinx - "Stay" Original soundtrack composed by me: ⪧ @finnagin5 - "Augment 1-7", "Gradient 1-2", & "String Theory" ⪧ Program used: FL Studio Producer Edition ⪧ Link: ⪧ Tile engine adapted from 's tile scrolling YouTube tutorial series; EXTREMELY heavily modified ⪧ Cloud & lightning PNGs from Bing Images ⪧ Vector Comfortaa font provided by ⪧ Goose Curse art from dimensions.com.
