How to play

Your hands on the scales

Swipe left or right to apply the center value to that wing. You can also tap the Left wing or Right wing button.
Double-tap the arena or tap Swap to exchange the wings’ feather counts.
Prepare the wing beneath a numbered heart. At least as many feathers as its weight purifies it, earning +1 score and +1 life. From level 35, a heart marked ÷ divides that wing instead, rounding down. If that wing had more than 1 feather, earn +1 score and +1 life; at 0 or 1 feather, Life Force is divided by the divisor instead, with no reward.
Tap Pause to take a break. Resume when you’re ready, or choose Forfeit & save result to end the trial and record your score and peak Life Force.

The rules ＋

Both wings begin with 10 feathers.
Center values start as positive integers.
A numbered heart subtracts its weight from the wing it reaches. If heart ≤ wing, earn +1 score and +1 life.
A heavier numbered heart empties the wing and costs heart value − wing feathers in life. Zero feathers is recoverable.
Every 5 purifications raises the level. Heart descent speeds from 4.0s to 2.0s; center cooldown drops from 2.0s to 0.5s.
If either wing has 90+ feathers, life grows at the current rate per second, including between hearts. If both wings are above 90, gain doubles. When both wings are below 90, life drains while a heart falls.
Each time a wing reaches 99 feathers, gain +100 Life Force. When both wings reach 99/99, current Life Force doubles first, then the arriving wing earns +100 and the pair earns an extra +100. The trial ends at 0 life or when you forfeit from Pause.
Whenever unequal wings become equal, earn +10 Life Force, except 0/0. The starting 10/10 does not grant bonus life.
From level 25, multipliers ×2–×3 can appear.
From level 35, divisor hearts have a random integer value from 3 through the current cap. The cap starts at 3, increases by 2 each level, and reaches 33 at level 50. Their chance rises from 10% to 25% over those levels. After level 50, both stay capped.
A divisor heart divides the feathers of the wing it reaches, rounding down. It purifies for +1 score and +1 Life Force only if that wing had more than 1 feather. At 0 or 1 feather, it divides Life Force by its value, with no score or life reward. Life Force keeps its fractional value; wing values stop at 0.
A positive integer always follows a multiplier. Positive integers may appear consecutively.
Above 99, subtract 99 once, then cap any remaining overflow at 99.
After level 50, life drain continues to rise by 0.012 Life Force/second each level.
At game over or when you forfeit from Pause, record your final score and highest Life Force. Regular trials, including guest trials, join the leaderboard; presets are practice.
