Velvet Current
A small connection can light the whole board.
How to play
Carry coating from the bottom-left spring to three flagged corner beacons within twenty-four moves. Swap adjacent shapes to match three or more. Coating stays on the board while shapes fall.
Choose horizontal or vertical flow for free. Three-cell matches spread coating only along that axis from a coated neighbor. A connected same-color matched group of four or more surges across either axis. Two separate triples do not combine into a surge.
Start with two Bridges. Spend one move and one charge to coat a selected uncoated cell directly beside the current, in either direction. A swap coating at least three new cells earns one Bridge, capped at two. A Bridge never refills itself.
Optional Forecast shows the first clear wave only. Cascades remain a surprise and can coat more cells. With Forecast on, tap adjacent tiles to stage a swap; change flow to compare, Confirm swap to play, or Cancel for free. With Forecast off, adjacent taps play immediately.
Tab enters the board once. Arrows move focus without wrapping, Enter or Space selects. A distant tile retargets, the same tile cancels. New run repeats a URL seed, otherwise starts a new seeded board.
Original independent game. Local files support offline play; the published version retains approved analytics.
