- Puzzle-platformer players who enjoy timing and spatial reasoning
- Worth noticing
- A paused frame freezes world updates, but the player keeps moving; blocks remain solid while one observed link stays in view.
Field notes
The described puzzle rule ties solidity to observation: a chain stays solid when one link remains in the window around the player, while blocks outside it become ghosts. Pressing K or X freezes world updates without stopping the player, so moving through the paused scene can make a route disappear on resume. The page reports game-jam placements and says a larger version is in development; its planned moving platforms are not presented as part of the current game.
