Swerve
Keep a marble on a zigzag crystal path by switching direction at every corner.
How to play
The marble only moves up-right or up-left. Tap the board, or press Space or ↑, to switch. ← sets up-left and → sets up-right directly. P or Esc pauses.
Rules and score
Your score is how far along the path you got, in cells. Miss a corner and you fall off. Every 50 cells is a new level and a little faster; from level 10 the speed stays the same. Straight parts are at least 2 cells long, and the first one is 5.
Tips
- Tap as the marble enters the corner cell. Too early and you fall before the corner.
- Count the cells of each straight part to find a rhythm.
- On a keyboard, ← → is safer than Space, because it sets the direction instead of flipping it.
- At higher speed, look at the path ahead, not at the marble.
FAQ
- What about many short parts in a row?
- Even the shortest part is 2 cells, so there's always time for one tap per corner.
- Is there a time limit?
- A run is at most 10 minutes.
