Basics

Getting Started

Movement, controls, and your first steps in the overworld.

TallyWorld is a pixel survival RPG with a shared live world. You explore biomes, gather resources, battle creatures, and — if you choose — claim land on Solana with $TALLY.

The game runs in your browser or on Solana Mobile (Seeker / Saga). Connect a wallet when you want on-chain land or marketplace actions; everything else is free to play.

Movement

On desktop, use WASD or the arrow keys to walk. On touch devices, drag the left half of the screen like a joystick.

The world is large and persistent — other players share the same server when multiplayer is enabled.

GOALS & quests

Sage the Elder area with the GOALS card and waypoint hint

Your active objective lives in the GOALS card on the left HUD (under vitals). Tap GOALS to open the full quest list — grouped by tier from Starter through Raids.

Visit Sage the Elder in town for a new quest (costs 2◆). Completing quests earns XP, ◆ merits, and sometimes loot boxes for wardrobe unlocks.

Active quests show a gold waypoint on the minimap and a chevron around your character. Follow it to the nearest gate, resource node, pond, or boss lair.

HUD & pixel icons

Full HUD showing vitals, resource strip, dock icons, and treasury

Most dock and HUD icons use the MV Pixel Fantasy icon atlas — crisp pixel art that matches the overworld. Chat emotes, wallet badges, and a few specialty glyphs still fall back to Lucide SVGs.

  • Dock & vitals — backpack, map, fish, tools, and combat actions share the same pixel set.
  • Forge weapons — each crafted weapon shows its own pixel icon (dagger, longsword, greatsword, battleaxe, warhammer, spear).
  • Potion buffs — active brews appear in a strip under your vitals with a status icon and seconds remaining.
  • Achievements — trophy and medal pixel icons in the Awards panel.
  • Icons are MV Icons by Caz Pixel Fantasy (CC BY 4.0).
