Solo game made in just under 14 hours. I was busy all weekend so it was a Monday funday job. Saying that I have never submitted with 3 hours to spare before so there is maybe something in that!
Simple on the surface, complicated under the hood.
Pick a circle, if it drops onto a platform you continue, if it falls off the screen it's over. White triangles show your selection, Red triangles show the selections you made last time. Learn the pattern and get as many drips as you can.
Use Left Mouse Click to select your orb.
Although it is procedural, the seed is set. Everyone will play the same game. Infinte branches of possibility. There might be an end, but I expect it goes on forever.
If you miss you start all the way back at the start.
Each decision you make changes what is to come. By selecting a different circle you will get a different layout of platforms when you drop. It's sneaky like that. Some drops are dead ends and you xcan't go any deeper down that configuration. Retrace your steps and see where you can change the path you take. Trial and error is key.
Play for glory and post your best drip!
If you like puzzels and code breaking then I hope it ticks your boxes.

At first I was wondering if it was just pure luck but that would be disapointing, and then I started to recognize some patterns.
I'll give it another try after I get some rest. I think this could get interesting, or frustrating :p
The gameplay being in sync with the music is a nice touch. I think there's a good concept here, only for the right crowd tho.
And you're not sure if there's an end or not... interesting. ;)
