BeaverBoy
Online

A hand-drawn online adventure. Start in sleepy Hinata Town, fly to cities around the world, ride the time machine to the year 2125, and, if you've earned the pass, all the way back to the dinosaurs.

Hinata Town, where every adventure starts.

Who will you be?

Play as a Bot, a little robot beaver straight out of BeaverBoy's workshop, or as a Kid from Hinata Town. Pick from twelve colours and a handful of styles, then roll your stats:

  • STR hits harder
  • DEX dodges monsters' hits
  • INT powers up the Size Lantern
  • LUK finds more yen and treasure

Level up, spend your points, kit yourself out with hats, shoes and gadgets, and adopt a pet to follow you around.

Find your calling

At level 10, take a trial from a mentor and earn one of four classes. Each has its own skill on R and a tree of perks to spend points on. Change your mind later for a few yen.

  • TinkererINT. Gadgets recharge faster and last longer, and Overclock recharges them all at once. Taught by BeaverBoy.
  • BrawlerSTR. Hits hard up close, takes a beating, and Ground Pound slams everything nearby. Taught by Coach Kuma in Hinata Town.
  • ScoutDEX. Quick on their feet and deadly at range, with an Air Dash to get out of trouble. Taught by Captain Sora at Hinata Airport.
  • Lucky StarLUK. Finds more yen and treasure, and a Lucky Charm spreads the luck to the whole party. Bosses pay out more when one's around. Taught by Madame Fortuna.

Specialise in a world

At level 30, beat a world's boss and its hero will teach you a second skill on F: a Brawler can become a Mech Pilot, a Spellknight or a Star Ranger.

  • ScienceFrom Unit B-7 in 2125. Stronger in science worlds, with a Tech Strike.
  • MagicFrom Beaverlin in Spellbound Hinata. Magic keeps more of its strength anywhere, and Enchant breaks the rules for a while.
  • StarFrom Captain Beavstar in Starfield Hinata. Star-tech weapons hit harder, and a Meteor falls on your enemies.

A world to explore

More than forty places, each one painted by hand. Buy a plane ticket at Hinata Airport, climb into the desk drawer in BeaverBoy's Gadget Room where the time machine is waiting, or pick up the phone in the Dreamcall Booth and ask "what if...?"

Around the world

Through time

Through the Dreamcall Booth

A candy-striped phone booth in BeaverBoy's Gadget Room. Lift the receiver, dial a what-if, and step out into a Hinata Town that's almost the same as ours. Almost.

Gadgets from BeaverBoy's tool belt

BeaverBoy's stall in Hinata Town, and a gizmo shop in 2125, are full of inventions. A few favourites:

  • Air CannonYour first blaster: puffs of air at anything that gets too close.
  • Size LanternShine red to make whoever's in front of you grow, blue to shrink them.
  • Whirly CapA propeller cap. Put it on and fly.
  • Fold-Up DoorOpen it anywhere to step to any place you've been before.
  • Chatter ChipUnderstand what animals, aliens and even plants are saying.
  • Hideaway SeedPlant it, and rest safely inside your own tree.
  • Vanish VeilDisappear for 8 seconds. Monsters can't see you or touch you.
  • Pause PocketwatchFreeze every monster on the map for 6 seconds.
  • Thunder WhistleOne blow and lightning strikes everything in reach.
  • Coin Magnet BadgeYen comes flying to you from further away.
  • Jet BootsRun faster and jump higher. Made in 2125.
  • Era PermitEarned, not bought: lets the time machine go back 70 million years.
  • Snap-Suit CameraSnap! New clothes for the weather, and a new colour. Antarctica needs a parka.
  • Tesseract PocketA pouch that's bigger on the inside: six more bag slots, for good.
  • Twig WandNot a gadget at all: magic. Full strength only in Spellbound Hinata.
  • Beam BladeCaptain Beavstar's glowing blade, straight from Starfield Hinata.

Grow, catch, cook and make

Six life skills, each with its own levels. Grow vegetables in your own plots, mine ore, fish, then turn it all into meals and gear. Every level is a point to spend on perks, and you can't have them all: pick the ones that suit how you play.

  • FarmingBuy seeds from Grandpa Tanaka, plant them, water them, and harvest turnips, tomatoes, strawberries, pumpkins and cotton.
  • MiningSwing a pickaxe at ore rocks around the world: copper and iron in the factories, all the way up to star crystals.
  • FishingSmelt in the garden pond, tuna in Sydney, ice cod in Antarctica, and a fish so old it saw the dinosaurs.
  • CookingMeals heal you and give you a boost for a few minutes: hit harder, run faster, or shrug off the weather.
  • CraftingTurn ore and monster parts into some of the strongest gear in the game, up to the Starforged Blade.
  • TailoringSpin cotton into cloth and sew hats, shoes and an All-Weather Cloak.

Ride in style

Become a true friend of a region and someone there will trust you with something special: a kangaroo in Sydney, a chariot in Rome, a penguin sled in Antarctica. Mounts carry you much faster, and some jump higher or even fly. They're earned through quests, never bought.

Better with friends

Parties

Team up with up to five friends. The party panel shows where everyone is and how they're doing, and party chat keeps you together.

Guilds

Start a guild, invite your friends, and wear its name under yours. Your guild gets its own hall in the Business District, with your name on the banners.

Duels

Challenge another player to a friendly duel. Nobody gets hurt unless both of you agree to it.

Trading & chat

Click any player to see their card, whisper to them, or trade items safely, with both sides confirming.

Quests

Dozens of quests from the people of Hinata Town and beyond, from rounding up runaway alarm clocks to catching the last train under New York.

Pets

A puppy, a kitten, a bunny or a Mini BeaverBot: they follow you everywhere, fetch what drops, and get better at it as they level up.

Best friends

Ring the Friendship Bell in Sakura Lane together, and you're best friends: it says so on your cards, and you learn faster side by side.

The bank

Every account has a vault at BeaverBank, shared by all your characters. Pass things from one to another, or keep your yen safe.

Emotes

Press 1 to 8 to pop a bubble over your head: a smile, a laugh, a heart, a sweat drop and more. Party Emotes add four more on Shift + 1 to 4.

Free to play, for real

Everything in the world can be reached without paying. Star Tokens are the game's special currency, and you earn them by playing: some every day you log in, and more for every boss you help defeat.

Spend them at the Star Kiosk in Hinata Town on things that only change how you look: a dozen hats for your Style slot (worn over your real hat), six extra colours for the Snap-Suit Camera, and four extra emotes. Next door, the Capsule Machine sells four new prizes every week, for yen, with the price and the prize shown up front. Nothing in the game is random to buy.

If you'd like to support the game, you can buy Star Tokens there too, or join the Beaver Club: every month, ★200 and a club hat to keep, a badge by your name, and extra bank space. Payments go through Stripe in your browser; the game never sees your card. Cancel the club anytime.

Players under 13 need a parent's OK to buy anything, and parents can set a monthly limit. More for parents

Help

Windows says "Windows protected your PC"

That's SmartScreen being careful with a game it hasn't seen many people download yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. You only need to do this once.

How do I make an account?

Start the game, type a username and password, and choose Create account. We ask for the month and year you were born, then an email address: we send it a code to check it's yours, and it's how you reset your password if you forget it. If you're under 13, we ask for a parent's email instead, and they say OK before you can play.

What are the controls?

A/D or the arrow keys to move, Space to jump, X or Ctrl to attack, Up to go through doors and open shops. R and F use your class skills. I opens your bag, E your equipment, K your stats, L your life skills, J your class, Q your quests and N the world map. 1 to 8 are emotes. Enter chats. Press Esc for the menu.

How do I get to the dinosaurs?

Finish the quest chain in the year 2125 to earn the Era Permit. Then the time machine will take you further back than ever before. Watch out for Mama Rex.

I bought Star Tokens but they haven't arrived

They usually arrive within a minute of paying. If you'd logged out, they're waiting for you the next time you play. Still missing after that? Contact us below with your character's name and the time you paid.

Can I see my characters on the web?

Yes! Go to My characters and log in with your game username and password to see each character's level, gear, bag and quests.

Why don't my gadgets work in Spellbound Hinata?

Gadgets are science, and Spellbound Hinata runs on magic. Your blaster only does a fraction of its damage there, and gadget powers fizzle. Buy a wand or a charm from Beaverlin; just don't expect them to work back home.

Is it safe for kids?

There's no violence beyond cartoon monsters going "poof", and chat is in-game only. Players under 13 sign up with a parent's email, never their own, and can't play until the parent says OK. They chat with Quick Chat, friendly preset phrases only, unless the parent allows typing, and they can't buy anything unless the parent allows it. Parents manage all of this, and a monthly spending limit, from the link in our email (lost it? get a new one). Players aged 13 to 17 can link a parent, who then gets a receipt for every purchase. We still recommend parents keep an eye on younger players.
