Fragile Connections

 FRAGILE CONNECTIONS 

A GAMEDΞON SUMMER JAM 2025 Entry

Two souls, bound by fate. One fragile connection. 60 seconds to survive.

In Fragile Connections, you control two characters mysteriously linked together by a glowing bond that grows weaker with distance and stronger with unity. Navigate through a world where a deceptive narrator gives conflicting advice, red obstacles threaten your connection, and golden diamonds offer hope for survival.

KEY FEATURES:

• ONE MECHANIC, MANY USES: Click to move characters, collect items, and avoid dangers

• STUCK TOGETHER: Two characters connected by a visible, fragile link that must be maintained

• UNRELIABLE NARRATOR: An AI guide that sometimes lies (shown with strikethrough text)

• FRAGILE SYSTEM: Your connection weakens with distance and damage

• HIGH STAKES: 60-second survival challenge with progressive difficulty

GAMEPLAY:

Click anywhere to move the nearest character toward that point. Collect yellow diamonds to heal your connection and gain points. Avoid rotating red obstacles that damage your bond. Keep your characters close together - if they drift too far apart, the connection becomes fragile and starts deteriorating.

But beware: the narrator will try to mislead you with false advice. Can you distinguish truth from lies while under pressure?

✓ One Mechanic, Many Uses - Single click mechanic for all interactions

✓ Stuck Together - Characters bound by visible connection

✓ Unreliable Narrator - Deceptive guidance system
