Fault Line Player Guide
Swap sides, read the path ahead, and survive the accelerating geometric crack.
Game
Geometric Distortion Runner
Fault Line is a minimalist arcade game about reflexes and visual perception. You guide a neon geometric entity along an ever-generating zigzag crack while the viewport twists and the speed rises.
How to play
Swap Sides to Dodge
Tap anywhere on the screen, or click the mouse, to instantly swap to the opposite side of the central fault line.
Red procedural shapes fall down the path. You must be on the opposite side of the line to avoid them. Crashing into an obstacle or the walls ends the attempt.
Strategy
Look Ahead and Tap Deliberately
Focus slightly ahead of your character instead of directly on it. That gives you more time to read the next bend and decide whether the upcoming obstacle needs an immediate swap or a delayed one.
Avoid panic taps. Each tap swaps sides instantly, so one extra input can undo a good move. Use the straight sections after sharp turns to reset your timing before the speed increases again.
