Miranda

Meet Miranda. One tap makes her lunge. Let go and she falls. That is the whole game, and you will still be playing it at two in the morning. She is a small anaconda with an enormous appetite. Between her and dinner is a jungle of hanging canopies and tree trunks with a narrow gap in the middle, and the gap is never quite where you want it to be. THE FOOD IS IN THE WRONG PLACE ON PURPOSE Red snakes hang on vines inside every gap. Each one is points. Each one makes Miranda longer. Here is the catch. They hang at the edges, tucked right up against the leaves. The safe way through and the tasty way through are never the same way through. Play it safe and you will survive for ages with a score you would rather not talk about. Play it greedy and you will find out exactly how close a snake can pass a branch. Closer than you think. Right up until it isn't. Purple snakes are poison. Touch one and the run is over, and Miranda would like you to know that she is very disappointed. BIGGER IS BETTER. BIGGER IS ALSO MUCH WORSE. Eat enough and she grows. Five stages, Hatchling to Titan, and every stage pays more for the same gate, so one good run snowballs into a great one. She also gets longer, heavier and much harder to thread through a gap roughly the size of her own head. Growing is the reward and the punishment at the same time. WHAT YOU GET One button. Tap, click, or press space. That is the entire control scheme, and it will still take you weeks. A multiplier that climbs to five when you eat without missing, with a chime that rises a note each time. Best sound in the game. You have to earn it. A forest that never repeats and never cheats. Every gap is one you can genuinely reach, and poison is never hung where it leaves you no way through. So when you die, that was you. One second chance. End a long run and you can carry on from where you fell, every hard-won segment intact. A daily forest. Same trees, same day, everybody. Compare your suffering. Six skins, unlocked by how much you have eaten across every run you have ever played. Two are easy. The rest will take some commitment. A marker on the ground where your last run ended, and points for sailing past it. Nothing motivates quite like your own ghost. Medals from bronze to platinum. Fair warning: dodging alone will only ever earn you bronze. Sooner or later you have to eat. PLAYS ANYWHERE, COSTS NOTHING No purchases. No account. No sign-in. Nothing behind a paywall, ever. Works offline. On the bus, on a plane, in a queue, in a lift. Your scores, your skins and your settings live on your phone and nowhere else. There are ads and we have tried to be decent about them. A banner sits on the menu and the results screen, never over the playfield and never during a run. The only other one is optional: watch it to rescue a run you were not ready to lose. Nothing is forced and nothing interrupts a run in progress. BUILT FOR EVERYONE Poison is not just a colour. It is a different shape, a different pattern and a different eye, and it glows, with an optional skull marker if you would like a fifth clue. Screen shake can be switched off. Reduced motion follows your system settings without being asked. Sound and vibration each get their own switch. Every sound in the game is public domain, from Kenney and OpenGameArt. Thank you, both. Portrait. Full screen. One hand. Go on. One more go.
