About BFDIA 5b
BFDIA 5b comes from Cary Huang, co-creator of the animated web series Battle for Dream Island. Released under the show's own episode numbering, it is a puzzle platformer starring contestants from the series, and it quickly became a favorite in the fan community.
Most levels give you several characters at once, and you switch control between them to solve each room. Characters can stand on top of one another and help each other past hazards, so the trick is working out who should go where and in what order. Stages start simple and turn into real brain teasers, rewarding patience and experimentation over speed.
How to play BFDIA 5b
- Arrow keys - move and jump
Playing BFDIA 5b on a computer
Cary Huang's puzzle platformer runs in Ruffle, and the arrow keys move and jump whichever contestant you control. After pressing Play now, click the game area once. Most levels give you more than one character, and you swap between them using the control the game introduces early on. Characters can serve as platforms for each other, so think about stacking them before you start moving anyone.
Playing BFDIA 5b on a phone or tablet
Like most Flash-era platformers, BFDIA 5b depends on a keyboard. You hold one arrow to run while pressing another to jump, then swap characters mid-puzzle, and the game was not designed with touch controls. Load it on a desktop or Chromebook instead. Anything labeled "Desktop and mobile" on the site is a better fit for a phone.
On a phone right now? Try Amaze, Block Blast and 99 Balls - they are built for touch screens.
Tips and tricks
- Look over the whole level before moving anyone.
- Think about the order in which your characters need to move.
- Restart a level if a character gets stuck instead of forcing it.
