Control
Beneath the flicker of guttering torches, the creature darts—a shadow with a heartbeat. Its fur ripples like liquid rust, whiskers trembling as they map the labyrinth of crumbling stone and splintered wood. Claws click against ancient flagstones, a staccato rhythm lost beneath the howl of distant winds. You glimpse its eyes first: twin pools of polished jet, unblinking, calculating. This is no mere vermin. It moves with purpose, a scavenger-prince navigating ruins where empires choked on their own dust. When it pauses, nose twitching at the scent of stale breadcrumbs or blood-rusted iron, its tail curls like a question mark—a glyph left by the dungeon itself. Here, even the smallest souls write their own legends.
description
In this fast-paced arcade challenge, your reflexes face the ultimate test. A ricocheting stone careens across a semi-contained arena—three sealed walls offer fleeting safety while your movable barrier guards the right flank. Every bounce off the barriers accelerates the projectile, its trajectory shifting unpredictably with each collision. Your paddle becomes both shield and weapon, deflecting the stone toward walls to extend your survival against mounting speed. Points accumulate with each heartbeat the stone remains in play, but razor-thin margins separate triumph from defeat. Precision timing falters under adrenaline; a single mistimed lunge sends the stone streaking past your defenses into the void beyond. No power-ups, no second chances—just you, a shrinking reaction window, and the relentless physics demanding perfection. How many heartbeats can you endure?
