Cairnfall - How to Play

What you are doing

You are building a trail cairn in a night gorge. Stones slide on the wind. You choose when each one drops.

A drop

The moving stone travels left and right above the stack. Tap, or press Space, when it lines up with the stone below. Only the overlapping part stays. A drop that barely misses slips off and the climb ends.

Perfect landings

If the stone is almost centered on the one below, it counts as perfect. It keeps the full width of the stone under it, glows gold, and scores two instead of one. Ordinary drops score one and shave a little width off the next stone.

The climb

Each stone sits on the last. The camera follows once the cairn gets tall. The wind speeds up as the stack grows, so later drops need a quicker tap. There is no level end. The score is the climb.
