The release follows the June 26 debut of the Lost Boys music video, which is part of her upcoming album, Lost Weekend. Bridgers teased the intersection between her music and gaming culture in the video, which features a scene with a gas station employee playing Old School RuneScape.
How to Play the 'Lost Boys' Game
The gameplay experience is straightforward and mirrors the mechanics of the classic Temple Run. Players take control of an elf-styled avatar of Bridgers, who is depicted riding on the back of a motorcycle—a direct reference to the visual aesthetic of the Lost Boys music video.
The objective is to navigate forward while using the arrow keys to dodge obstacles and collect coins. The game features a few key mechanics to keep the run going:
- Movement: Use arrow keys to shift left and right to avoid goblins blocking the path.
- Obstacles: Players can jump over fallen trees or use a slide feature to dodge under flames.
- Pickups: Look for a magnet to automatically pull in nearby coins and a star-shaped power-up that grants temporary invincibility.
The stakes are simple: if you get hit three times, the run ends, and you must start from the beginning. For those looking to prove their skills, the game includes a leaderboard to track performance against other fans.
Extras and Audio
The game is set to a retro-style rendition of Lost Boys that plays in the background throughout the session. If the track proves to be an earworm, fans have the option to download the song as a ringtone directly from the game site.
While this browser title is a fun promotional tie-in rather than a massive production like GTA 6, it highlights a growing interest in video games among high-profile artists. Bridgers joins a list of celebrities recently vocal about their gaming habits, including Kylie Jenner, who has been documenting her playthrough of Breath of the Wild.
