Objective

You ride the sugar line of a brass candy works. Each shutter across the pipe is boiled to one flavour, and passing through one that is not yours cracks a sugar shell.

Controls

Tap anywhere — or press Space, Enter, an arrow key, or click — to advance one step around the flavour cycle: lemon, rose, violet, mint. Count the cream studs on a shutter against your own pips to know how many taps away it is. One tap lands every 0.16 seconds, so counting beats mashing — and a tap pressed early is remembered, never dropped.

Scoring

+10 for every shutter you match, and +15 for a cream prism, which needs no flavour but reverses your cycle for five seconds.

Pressure

Two flavours to start, a third at 16 seconds and a fourth at 30, while the line speeds up from 12 to 22 units per second and the shutters close from 1.9 to 1.05 seconds apart. You wear three sugar shells: two wrong flavours crack one each, and the third ends the run. A crack buys 1.1 seconds in which shutters pass free, so one fumble is never two.
