Cascada.

Aim a little spark. Preview the reaction. Find a longer chain in two and a half minutes.

HOW TO PLAY / 01

A little spark. A growing reaction.

01

Aim

Touch the board, drag, or adjust the aiming slider. A dashed path shows the first piece your charge will reach.

02

Preview

Outlined pieces show the complete reaction. Arrows lead to adjacent pieces, splitters branch in two directions and cores reach all eight neighbours.

03

Launch

Confirm with Launch. Activated pieces disappear; clear the board to reveal another. Find your best chain before 150 seconds end.

Three small experiments

  1. Learn to aim and confirm a launch without a clock.
  2. Follow arrows through a splitter. Empty spaces stop a reaction.
  3. Reach a star-shaped core to activate its eight neighbouring cells.

Open Practice from the start, pause or result. Practice has its own board and never changes a run or records.

Rules and scoring

A run lasts 2:30 of active time. Every activated piece earns 10 points, plus 5 points for each piece after the first in that launch. Five pieces earn 70 points. Each piece activates once per launch. Misses remove no points. Resolving takes 600 ms and consumes time. Clear a board to receive a different one; there is no extra board bonus or increasing speed.

Use the aiming slider or arrow keys on the board, then Enter or Space to launch. Left and right buttons also adjust aim. Holding a launch key does not fire repeatedly. The piece list provides named aiming targets. Pauses and interruptions stop the clock; resume explicitly.

Best score and longest chain are saved in this browser for Cascada rules v1. No accounts, public rankings, ads or paid advantages. Reloading ends the active run.

About Cascada

Can I see what will happen?

Yes. The preview and launch use the same calculation. Outlined pieces and the text summary show the expected chain and points.

What happens if I miss?

You gain no points, but lose none. The board stays the same. The short launch animation still uses active time.

What gets shared?

Points, longest chain and a common link to Cascada. The image decorates your best reaction. Nothing is posted automatically and the link cannot replay your run.

A tip to get started

Compare the preview as you change the angle. Gaps stop the chain and each piece activates once; aim toward a splitter to explore more paths.
