99 Nights in the forest! Nubiki - Play Online

Ever played Minecraft but wished it was way simpler and had a weird deer chasing you? That's exactly what this is. 99 Nights in the forest! Nubiki is a super stripped-down 2D survival sandbox where you play as a blocky character (literally a square) trying to keep a campfire burning while avoiding bizarre forest creatures. Gather wood, build platforms, and see how many nights you can survive—solo or with a friend on the same keyboard. It's casual, it's addictive in short bursts, and it doesn't take itself seriously at all.

Key Features

• Two-Player Local Co-op: Split the keyboard with a friend—one on WASD, one on arrow keys.
• 18 Unlockable Skins: 9 character skins and 9 block skins to customize your experience.
• Global Leaderboard: Compete to see who can survive the most nights in the forest.
• Multiple Game Modes: Standard solo and duo survival, plus extra fun modes for variety.

How to Play 99 Nights in the forest! Nubiki

Getting started is easy—mastering 99 nights? That's the real challenge.

Collect Firewood to Survive

You move around using WAD or arrow keys (depending on mode) and jump to navigate the terrain. Scattered across the forest are logs lying on the ground—walk over them to pick them up. Your campfire needs constant fuel, so you're always searching for more wood. No wood means no fire, and no fire means game over.

Build Platforms and Escape the Deer

Here's where it gets weird: a creepy deer-like creature wanders the forest, and you need to avoid it. Press S or Down Arrow to place blocks beneath you, building makeshift platforms to climb out of reach or cross gaps. The block-building is simple—no complex crafting menus—just drop a block and keep moving. The deer AI is unpredictable, so sometimes you'll need to build vertical towers just to stay alive.

Keep the Fire Burning and Beat Your Record

Every night you survive adds to your score. The game tracks how many days you lasted and posts it to the leaderboard. In two-player mode, you and your buddy share the same goal—coordinate who gathers wood and who builds defenses. The longer you last, the more satisfying it feels, especially when you check the leaderboard and see your name climbing.

Who is 99 Nights in the forest! Nubiki for?

This is perfect for younger kids (like 6-10 year olds) who want a simple sandbox experience, or anyone looking for a lightweight browser game to play during a break. If you're into polished AAA graphics, this isn't your game—the visuals look like MS Paint met a game engine. But if you want something goofy, easy to learn, and great for playing with a sibling or friend on the same computer? It nails that vibe. Also ideal if you're on an older PC or Chromebook—this thing will run on a potato.

The Gameplay Vibe

It's honestly super chill until that deer shows up, then it's panic mode. The game has this janky, homemade charm—the graphics are flat, the animations are stiff, and the textures look like they were drawn in five minutes. But that's part of the appeal. The background music (if there is any) is forgettable, so I ended up playing with my own playlist. The physics feel loose, which makes jumping and block-placing a bit unpredictable, but it adds to the chaotic fun. It's not stressful like a bullet hell game, but it's not totally relaxing either—it's somewhere in between.

Technical Check: Saves & Performance

The game saves your progress and high scores automatically in your browser cache, so just don't clear your cookies or you'll lose your leaderboard entry. Performance-wise, this runs flawlessly on basically any hardware—I tested it on an old laptop and it didn't even make the fan spin up. No lag, no stuttering. It's built for web browsers, so it's optimized for speed over flash.

Quick Verdict: Pros & Cons

A quirky survival game that's more about having fun with friends than chasing high scores alone.

• ✅ Pro: Local co-op on one keyboard is genuinely fun and rare for browser games.
• ✅ Pro: Runs on literally anything—no downloads, no lag.
• ❌ Con: The graphics are extremely basic, even for retro standards—some players might find it too ugly to enjoy.

Controls

Responsive enough for what the game asks. The keyboard controls are simple and the game registers inputs instantly, though the loose physics can make precise platforming tricky.

• Desktop (Solo): WAD keys to move, S or Down Arrow to place blocks.
• Desktop (Two-Player): Player 1 uses WASD, Player 2 uses Arrow Keys.
