Ember Glide

Ember Glide is a one-tap arcade glider about restraint. A lone ember drifts down a night valley, and every tap is a small decision: fan too little and the ember sinks, fan too much and it climbs into stone. The control is trivial to learn and genuinely difficult to master.

HOW IT PLAYS
The ember falls under gravity and the valley scrolls past. Tap anywhere to fan the ember upward in a short, sharp flap — chained taps are the only way to stay aloft. Stone gates cross the valley leaving a single wind gap: slip through cleanly for a glow bonus, or strike the stone and lose glow and combo. Sparks drift between the gates; collect them on contact to build your combo, multiply payouts, and refill the GLOW meter, which drains continuously. When the GLOW meter empties, the run ends.

FEATURES
- One-tap flap controls with honest, predictable physics
- Wind-gap stone gates with escalating speed and narrowing spacing
- Combo scoring with a permanently draining GLOW meter
- Four support items: Ash Guard (forgives one hit), Backdraft (double payouts, 10 s), Tailwind (slower scroll, 8 s), Rekindle (one revive per run)
- Best-score tracking and an in-run soot economy
- Fully offline play; no account required

PROGRESSION
Every 10 sparks raises the stage: the glide accelerates and gate gaps tighten. Soot collected during runs can be spent in the Soot Market on protective and scoring items.

Ember Glide rewards patience over panic. How far can one ember glide?
