SPINDLE
Tap to fire. Don't hit another needle.
A spool of thread spins on a sewing table. Tap to fire needles up into it. Every needle sticks and spins with the spool as the gaps get tighter with each shot. Land them all to unravel the spool. Every 5th stage is a tangled boss.
BUILT FOR PURE REFLEX
No virtual joysticks, no cluttered menus, no paywalls. Spindle is crafted as a high-contrast poster in motion.
A BOSS EVERY 5TH STAGE
Just when you lock into the rhythm, the spool changes how it spins. Adapt your timing or shatter your needles.
THE KNOT
Rotation: Reverses spin direction every 1.6 seconds with a snappy 0.15s ease. Tests your ability to hold your fire under pressure.
THE BUTTON
Rotation: Stop-and-go cadence. Spins at high velocity (150°/s), abruptly halts, then bursts into motion again.
THE TANGLE
Rotation: Chaotic seeded jitter chaining reverse, swell, and acceleration segments. Pure reflex test.
