MACHINE OF HABIT
A run-based platformer where every ability you lean on gets cheaper to use, harder to quit — and the world rebuilds itself against it.
YOU ARE A MISPRINT
An amorphous smear of misregistered color, climbing a vertical world of starless voids punched into a deep night sky. Energy is life. Every jump, every shot, every trick spends from the one pool that keeps you alive. Reach the exit and the ledger relaxes — a little.
Run out with nothing left, and the machine stops. Your score is how high you climbed before it did.
USE. CRYSTALLIZE. ADAPT.
SPEND
Pick four verbs and climb. Every use of an ability is written to a ledger — and every use makes that ability cheaper.
CRYSTALLIZE
Lean on a verb long enough and it hardens into you — your body solidifies in its color, its signature unlocks as a modifier for your other abilities… and walking away from it starts to cost real energy.
THE WORLD COMMITS
Between levels the world regenerates against your habits. It reads the ledger. It builds for the player you keep choosing to be.

Every crystallized ability grafts its signature onto the others.
BLAST + LAUNCH is a rocket jump that tosses the room.
DASH + MOMENTUM makes you the projectile.
What you master becomes raw material for what you build next.
HABITS BECOME ARCHITECTURE
Blink through every wall, and the walls thicken. Skip every fight, and a vault grows around the question you keep dodging. The generator never bans your favorite verb — it just makes you think before you spend it.
Level one is always the same. Nothing after that ever is — because nothing after that is generated for anyone but you.
