A SMALL BALLET OF SUNLIGHT & COLD SKY
Catch enough sun to think. Turn your radiator toward the dark. Bring a few tiny poems home without burning out.
Gold = Sun bearing · Blue = Earth bearing · ☾ = eclipse
DARKBLOOM / FIELD GUIDE
The teal solar wing points toward the sun to earn up to 4 battery per beat. The ivory radiator points the other way: it sheds 1–5 heat, depending on how much warm Earth it sees. Sun shining onto the radiator adds up to 2 heat.
Choose a 30° turn, then write or coast. Fly every beat, reach the poem target, and keep battery at 0 or above and heat at 12 or below. The preview includes your turn, power cost, solar gain and cooling. Everything resolves together at the end of a beat.
Read the sky forecast before committing. A nudge finds an exact winning continuation; undo and restart are always free. Your completed orbits stay on this device when storage is available.
Keyboard: A/D turn, S hold, W write, C coast, Space fly, U undo, H nudge, R restart. All controls also work with touch.
