WIND//BREAK

BE THE SCORPION. OUTLAST THE SKY.

A three-minute desert disaster.

You are one very small scorpion having one extremely bad day.

A hurricane is tearing across the desert, changing direction and growing stronger by the minute. Read the blowing sand, get behind heavy boulders, brace yourself when you're caught in the open and try not to get launched into the badlands.

The rocks aren't just scenery. Different-sized rocks have different weights: lighter stones can be rolled by you or carried by the wind, while heavier boulders provide reliable shelter. As the storm intensifies, the arena physically rearranges around you and yesterday's cover can become today's projectile.

Survive three minutes. That's it. Good luck.

HOW TO PLAY

Move — WASD / Arrow Keys Grip / Brace — Hold the indicated grip control Pause — Pause control

Watch the environment rather than just the UI. Sand, debris and moving rocks tell you where the next gust is coming from.

Use large boulders to break the wind and recover your grip.

When you're exposed, brace.

When the wind changes, move.

When a rock starts rolling toward you... move faster.

THE THEME: ROCK

We took a slightly sideways route.

Rock → rock music → Scorpions + hurricane → literal scorpion versus literal hurricane.

Then we asked what that game would actually be.

The answer was a tiny scorpion desperately using rocks to survive three increasingly violent minutes of wind.

So yes: the rocks matter too.
