Thread the Needle: 1-Bit

One tap to steer, one pixel to spare. Thread the gap, chase your best score.

Thread the Needle is a one-bit arcade dodger built for one thumb.

Your ship drifts constantly through a field of crumbling debris. Hold the left or right side of the screen to thrust — but the drift never stops, so every correction has to be countered. Gaps get tighter, the scroll gets faster, and one clipped pillar ends the run.

No timers. No lives. No purchases. Just you, the gap, and your best score.
