A downloadable game for Windows

🎲 INVARIANT RECURSION

The floor is optional. The math is not.

You are a cube. Specifically, a six-sided die trapped in a cascading, vertical simulation. To escape, you don’t just need to move—you need to descend.

🌀 THE LOOP

Navigate a series of floating grid-based levels where every step rolls your body 90 degrees. Your goal? Reach the Goal Socket with your Up-Face matching the required value.

But there’s a catch: the path forward is often a leap of faith.

📉 GO DEEPER

When you run out of road, the only way is down. Fall through the void to land on the levels below.

  • The Invariant Law: You do not rotate while falling. If you leave the ledge as a 4, you land as a 4.
  • The Terminal Limit: Fall too far into the dark, and the system glitches, rewinding you to your last stable state.
  • Blind Faith: Use your memory to map the layers beneath you. The deeper you go, the thicker the "Depth Fog" becomes.

🛠️ FEATURES

  • Recursive Traversal: Shift the entire world around you to survive.
  • Deterministic Puzzles: No physics RNG here. It’s just you, the grid, and your ability to count to six.
  • The "Glitch" System: Failures aren't game overs; they are instant, seamless rewinds that keep you in the flow.
  • Par Excellence: Can you solve the descent under the move limit, or will you take the scenic route through the abyss?
  • "In a world of variables, you are the only Invariant. How deep can you go?"
