Space Beads - The Sphincter

A quiet, filthy little puzzle

You are a short chain of beads, drifting through the void toward the Maw. It has been shut for eons, and it is starving. Gather the scattered beads, rebuild the tether, and return what belongs inside.

Gravity is honest. The gate is not. It stays shut until you are whole and wet, and it will tell you so.

How it plays

Crawl across small, tight chambers. Pick up every stray bead so your chain grows longer, absorb the slick, then slide into the gate. Walk off a ledge and you hang. Let go and you fall. Every bead you gain makes turning harder, and the obvious move is usually the one that locks you in.

• Hang, fall, fold. Your own length is the puzzle. Use it as a counterweight, a bridge or a trap.
  
• Undo and rewind. Made a bad turn? Step back one move at a time, as far as you like. Experimenting is free.
  
• 150 handcrafted chambers. Every level is built by hand, grouped into chapters that slowly add new trouble like saws and slippery floors.
  
• No timers, no ads. Think as long as you want. The gate has waited eons. It can wait for you.

Made for PC

• Keyboard: arrow keys or WASD to move, Z to undo (hold to rewind), R to restart, Esc to pause.
  
• Controller: full controller support through Steam Input, with on-screen button prompts that match your pad.
  
• Fullscreen or windowed, adjustable music and sound, optional CRT filter and rumble.

A word of warning

The gate talks, and it has a one-track mind. Expect a lot of suggestive comments about length, slick and squeezing through. No nudity, nothing graphic, just a very needy door.
