Read the future before the orb reaches it
The orb falls automatically through a vertical neon shaft. A deterministic line shows roughly 1.5 seconds of its current trajectory. Safe routes stay readable; a route approaching danger warns you before the collision happens.
Place a bumper, then watch the prediction change
A left or right input places a temporary bumper on the predicted path. The bumper bends the orb in that same direction, and the forecast immediately redraws around the new angle. The decision is simple to make, but timing it well separates a clean route from a late recovery.
Cross five gates and reach the reactor
The 45-second run ends successfully when the orb crosses all five required gates and enters the reactor. Optional cores improve the score, while pulse hazards interrupt momentum and cost valuable time.
