Bats, ghosts and skulls pour in from every edge of the screen, and you never touch a fire button. In Emoji Horde unblocked, your weapons attack by themselves. All you control is where you walk, which turns every run into a dance of dodging and gem grabbing.
Frank Force built it with his LittleJS engine. A full run lasts fifteen minutes, and coins you collect go toward a shop that makes the next attempt a little easier.
How to play Emoji Horde
Choose a hero and a stage. Each hero starts with a different weapon: Smiley has Dagger Slash, Wizard has Fireball, Cat has Fish Orbit and Bot has Chain Lightning. A fifth hero unlocks after you survive ten minutes.
Fallen enemies drop blue gems. Fill the experience bar and the action freezes so you can choose one of three offers, such as a new weapon, a passive item or an upgrade to gear already in hand. You can carry five weapons and five passives, each up to level 5. Coins let you reroll or banish offers.
Bosses show up at set times, and the first one arrives at the three-minute mark. At fifteen minutes the stage boss appears. Beat it to clear the stage and open the next one. If your health runs out first, the run is over.

Tips
- Keep moving in loops. Circling a wide path pulls the crowd into a line behind you, where area weapons hit many at once.
- Pair weapons with their partner. Each weapon evolves when it reaches level 5 and you also hold its matching passive. Open a boss chest to trigger it.
- Do not chase every gem. A gem in the middle of a pack is not worth the damage. Collect the safe ones and circle back later.
- Spend coins in the shop. Upgrades bought between runs stay with you, so even a failed run makes the next one stronger.
- Banish what does not fit. If an offer keeps showing up that does not suit your build, banish it so better picks appear.
Emoji Horde questions
What is saved between runs?
Coins, shop upgrades, your best time, unlocked stages and the extra hero stay stored on your device. Your weapon and passive picks reset when a new run begins.
Can I play with a touchscreen?
Yes. Put a finger down anywhere and a virtual joystick forms there for steering. Menus work with taps.
Why can't I aim my attacks?
Every weapon fires automatically on its own timer. Some, like daggers, follow the direction you last walked, so steering doubles as aiming.
