About Donut Be Seen (Prototype)
Donut Be Seen (Prototype) is a pocket-sized endless runner set on a ring-shaped arena, with a title that doubles as its main rule: do not be seen. This is the prototype, built in 48 hours for a game jam, so expect something short and simple.
The screen is a deep-blue circle. A cat-like figure stands at the top and throws a cone of yellow light toward the middle, small shadowy shapes sit around the inner ring, and a big number glows in the center. You move with the arrow keys, and a second player can join by pressing WASD.
The art is chunky 8-bit pixel work in blues and yellows. You can play Donut Be Seen (Prototype) online here in a desktop browser, alone or with a friend sharing the same keyboard.
How to Play Donut Be Seen (Prototype)
- Click inside the game window so it takes keyboard input.
- Move with the arrow keys.
- For two players, the second player presses WASD to join and then moves with those keys.
- Keep moving around the ring and stay out of sight, as the title warns.
- Keep an eye on the number in the center of the ring as you play.
What to Expect in Donut Be Seen (Prototype)
Expect a quick arcade loop rather than a full game. This is the version made during the jam, built around one clear idea. Runs are about lasting as long as you can, which is the core of any endless runner.
Two-player mode puts both of you on one keyboard, one on the arrow keys and one on WASD, so sit close and agree on who gets which side. Donut Be Seen (Prototype) free in your browser is an easy pick for a quick round with someone next to you.
Tips for Donut Be Seen (Prototype)
- Decide who plays which side of the keyboard before you start, since player one uses the arrows and player two uses WASD.
- Track where the cone of light points before you move. Knowing where you can be seen is half the game.
- Make small, controlled moves. On a tight ring, big swings put you in trouble fast.
- Play a few solo rounds to learn the timing before inviting a second player.
- If the keys stop responding, click the game window again to give it focus.

FAQ
Is Donut Be Seen (Prototype) free?
Yes. Donut Be Seen (Prototype) is free to play in your browser, with no download and no account. Click into the game window and start moving with the arrow keys. It's a short jam prototype, so a round fits easily into a few spare minutes.
How do you play Donut Be Seen (Prototype)?
Player one moves with the arrow keys around a ring-shaped arena. A second player can join by pressing WASD and then plays with those keys. It's an endless runner, so the aim is to keep going and stay unseen for as long as you can manage.
Is Donut Be Seen (Prototype) a two-player game?
It can be. Player one uses the arrow keys and player two joins by pressing WASD, so two people share one keyboard on the same computer. You can also play alone. A full-size keyboard gives both players more room for their hands.
Is Donut Be Seen (Prototype) the full game?
No. This is the prototype, the original build made in 48 hours for a game jam. It's an early take on the idea, so it's compact and simple. Treat Donut Be Seen (Prototype) as a quick arcade snack rather than a finished release.
Who made Donut Be Seen (Prototype)?
Donut Be Seen (Prototype) was made by guselect with GameMaker in 48 hours for a game jam and released on itch.io. FunClicker did not make the game. We embed the creator's own browser version, and the original is linked in the Who Made section.
Can I play Donut Be Seen (Prototype) on a Chromebook or phone?
A Chromebook with a keyboard works, since the game runs in the browser and uses the arrow keys and WASD. Phones are not a good fit because there's no keyboard to move with. For two players, a laptop or desktop keyboard gives you both enough room.
Is Donut Be Seen (Prototype) unblocked at school?
It needs only a browser tab, with nothing to install. Whether it opens on a school network depends on that network's filters, which we do not control. If it loads, it plays the same as at home, and a round is short enough for a break.
What does the name Donut Be Seen mean?
The name is a pun on do not be seen, and the arena itself is shaped like a donut. That sums up the idea: you move around the ring and try to stay unseen. The cone of yellow light on screen is the thing worth watching while you play.
