Just Barely

Build the path at the very last moment.

Just barely!

A little runner never stops. You build the path in front of him: a block over a gap, a spring under his feet, a sign to turn him around.

BARELY! CHAIN ×3 NEXT
How it plays

You don't steer. You build.

The runner moves on his own. You only decide what goes where, and when. Tap an empty tile to place the next piece from the queue.

Block

Blocks bridge gaps and make steps. The same block is a floor, a stair or a wall, depending on where you put it.

Spring

Springs throw him in a high arc, over spikes, gaps and walls. Put one under his feet and watch him fly.

Sign

Signs turn him around. Catch him before the edge and send him back the way he came.

BARELY!

Wait for it…

Each piece counts the moment he uses it. Placed in the last 0.3 seconds, it is a BARELY: the world slows down, you feel a thud in your hand and the chain grows. A piece placed in good time breaks the chain.
