Gate Weave

ARCADE / PULSE CANOPY
Pulse Canopy
Tap (or Space / ↑) to flip between the upper and lower polarity · read the upcoming gate before it arrives
A one-tap polarity runner. The light dot auto-scrolls forward — your only control is a tap that flips it between the upper and lower lane. Each sector's gate demands a specific polarity, so the game is reading the upcoming gates and flipping in time to pass them. Risk-edge shards sit on the opposite lane right before each gate: swing out to grab one and the chain multiplier compounds, but flip back before the wall or you miss the gate and reset the chain. Every seeded run lays out a fresh gate sequence that always leaves a safe shard-free route, so reading the pattern beats mashing. 30 sectors or 60 seconds, best score wins.
How to play
Rules
The dot auto-runs forward. A gate at each sector's end demands the upper or lower polarity — pass it on the correct lane to clear the sector. A risk-edge shard on the opposite lane just before a gate is optional: collect it to grow the chain multiplier (compounds across consecutive collects), but a gate miss (wrong polarity at the wall) resets the chain. The run ends at 30 sectors or 60 seconds, whichever comes first.
Controls
Tap anywhere (or Space / ↑) to flip between the upper and lower polarity. Time the flips so the dot is on each gate's required lane as it reaches the wall.
Tips
A flip locks the dot to its new polarity for a brief moment, so plan ahead — you can not toggle back instantly. Risk-edge shards are worth the detour when the chain is alive; skip them when the next gate is too close to recover in time. Some shards sit too close to their gate to flip back — they wear a hollow cross shape, so read the shape and skip those. The safe shard-free route always clears every gate.
Behind the game
Pulse Canopy reduces a runner to one decisive action: a tap flips the light dot between upper and lower polarity while it moves forward by itself. Every sector ends with a gate that accepts only one polarity. Passing the gate is the safe objective, so the first skill is reading the upcoming gate and flipping early enough to arrive on its required lane. A flip has a short lockout; tapping repeatedly cannot undo it at once. That small commitment makes the course about timing and pattern reading rather than button mashing.
The optional shards make the safe route into a scoring route. A shard appears on the opposite lane shortly before a gate. Collecting it adds points and grows a chain multiplier that compounds across consecutive shards, but it also demands two good flips: one outward to the shard and one back before the wall. Miss the gate and the run continues, yet the chain resets. This is a useful kind of risk because the safe shard-free route always clears every gate. When the chain is alive and the recovery distance is clear, a detour can be worth it; when the next gate is too close, skipping the shard protects the run and sets up the next chance. Clearing all thirty sectors also awards a finish bonus.
Seeded generation changes the sequence of upper and lower gates and the positions of the risk-edge shards. It never removes the readable line through the course, so a new run asks for fresh observation rather than luck. The canopy is a luminous corridor above and below the dot, with gates as pulses to meet and shards as brief excursions at its edge. A run ends after thirty sectors or 60 seconds, making it ideal for testing one better route immediately. Watch the next wall, respect the flip cooldown, and use the dangerous side only when you can already see the way home.
