COMPLETE VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

One well-timed flick. Watch the sticky droplet swing. A flick works when the droplet is close to the moth.

Choose the line length. Use the short-to-long slider or left and right arrows to change the droplet’s reach.

Flick at overlap. Tap Flick & catch or press Space when the droplet reaches the moth. This is a timing challenge.

Match reach and timing. A flick from too far away misses. Recheck both the line length and the swing.

Pause to reset your focus. Pause with the button, P, or Escape. Resume continues the same swing.

Keep watching the arc. Wait for the next overlap, then flick. Three missed attempts end the run.

TRY WHAT YOU WATCHED

These original demonstrations use the game’s own renderer and simulation, with a scripted sequence of normal game controls. The instruction panels and input markers explain the example. They do not change the playable game’s rules.

The video pauses at the pause chapter so you can inspect the scene. Choose Resume in the game when you want to continue. Scores shown here come from the demonstration run.
