FOLDLINE

FOLDLINE is a fast browser arcade game about folding space, building score, evolving the NEXUS, and surviving escalating threat waves.

Drag an orb to the exact point where you want it to land. The fold line is calculated automatically — and everything on the folded side moves with the same fold.

MATCH — land an orb inside the ring of the same color to score.
DEFLECT — a freshly folded orb becomes CHARGED; hit a threat to knock it away from the NEXUS.
EJECT — fold a threat beyond the arena boundary to destroy it for bonus points.
FOLD COMBO — the strongest moves solve several problems at once.

Your score evolves the NEXUS through five levels:

AWAKENING → ALIGNMENT → FRACTURE → CASCADE → ASCENSION

Each level adds a visible SIGIL to the HUD and unlocks more of the NEXUS defense system.

Power Nodes enter the arena as you progress. Hit one with a CHARGED orb to activate it:

SENTRY — the NEXUS fires a beam at the most dangerous threat and slows it.
STASIS — temporarily slows all active threats.
REPAIR — restores lost NEXUS Integrity, or builds Stability when Integrity is full.

The NEXUS starts with 3 Integrity. Every threat that reaches it removes 1 Integrity. Successful play builds Stability, which can restore lost Integrity.

Every 1,000 points triggers a NEXUS PULSE, temporarily slowing threats and delaying the next attack.

Controls: Mouse or touch — start on an orb, drag to the exact destination, release to fold.
Pause: on-screen button, P, or Esc.

Desktop and mobile browser supported. No account, login, download, or backend required.
