About Covermount
Covermount is a short puzzle game drawn in a scratchy black and white doodle style, starring a round little character with stubby legs. The opening level is a white tile path on a black background, broken by a gap, with a flag at the far end.
It mixes 2D and 3D, it's a single-player game, and zombies turn up along the way. Behind it sits a joke: one of the programmers supposedly made it to air some opinions about their office.
You can play Covermount online without installing anything, and it's short enough to finish in a single sitting.
How to Play Covermount
- Click inside the game window so it picks up your key presses.
- Check the title screen, which shows the keys the game uses: Z and R, plus the arrow keys and W.
- Move your character along the tile path with those keys.
- Work out how to get past the gaps and reach the flag.
- Try Z and R early so you know what each one does before the puzzles get harder.
What to Expect in Covermount
Expect a small, odd short puzzle game with a dry sense of humor rather than a long campaign. The art looks like it was drawn with a marker, which suits the stark levels, and the character has a worried little face that fits the deadpan tone.
Zombies are part of the cast, and the mix of 2D and 3D keeps the plain palette from feeling flat. Playing Covermount free in a browser tab makes it an easy pick for a short break, and it works best when you take each level slowly.
Tips for Covermount
- Learn what Z and R do on the first level, where a wrong press costs nothing.
- Look at the whole level before you move. The gaps between the tile sections are where the thinking happens.
- When a level stops making sense, start it over and try your moves in a different order.
- Keep track of the zombies as well as the path once they show up.
- Do not rush. It's a short puzzle game, so taking your time on each level is the whole point.

Each level is a puzzle about getting your character across a path of tiles. The first one ends at a flag on the far side of a gap, and the challenge is finding a way there. Later levels build on that idea, and zombies join in along the way, so the goal is to keep solving until you reach the end.

Can I play Covermount on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook is a good fit, because Covermount runs in a browser tab and plays on the keyboard. A phone is a poor match, since the game is built around keys like Z, R and the arrows. For the best results, use a laptop, desktop or Chromebook with a physical keyboard, and click inside the game window before you start.
Is Covermount unblocked at school?
Covermount needs only a browser tab, with no download, plugin or login. Whether it opens on a school or library network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads on your connection, it plays exactly the same as anywhere else, and the short length suits a break.
What keys does Covermount use?
The title screen of Covermount shows the keys it uses: Z, R, an arrow key and W. The quickest way to learn what each one does is to press them one at a time on the first level, where nothing can go wrong. Once you know them, the rest of the game is about thinking, not reflexes.
Is Covermount a long game?
No. Covermount is a short puzzle game, built as a compact set of levels rather than a long campaign, so you can finish it in one sitting. That makes it easy to try during a break. Since it's brief, it's worth taking your time on each level and enjoying the doodled art instead of rushing to the end.
