HODLGrounds

When a candle closes, the storm creeps forward one candle over 12 s. Anything behind it is gone. The void below ends a run too. Calls bet on whether the next candle closes above or below the one before it. The window stays open until 5 s after that candle opens. Locking before it opens pays 100, then the payout drops to 60 over those 5 s. Correct calls in a row raise your multiplier.

Push · 16 m radius · 9 s cooldown · 12 gas. Strongest point-blank, cuts the hooks of anyone within 9 m, and stalls your own swing. Pull · 50 m, needs a clear line · 11 s cooldown · 16 gas. A 0.45 s wind-up that the target can break with their own push. Anyone hit is warded for a moment (2.5 s after a push, 0.8 s after a pull), so nobody can be juggled. Shots · 6 rounds, one back every 0.65 s · heavy knockback that knocks wall-runners off the candle · hip-fire wanders up to 2°; aimed (hold aim) shots fly straight, 45% faster and 45% farther. Once a target is above 60% leverage, every hit also cuts their hooks. Wall-run · hold at a candle’s side to run on it at up to 17 m/s, up or along, wherever you look. The run fades over 2 s, and you get more of it the faster you hit the wall (from the ground, about half). Out of run you slide down; jump to kick off and keep your momentum. Rope · hooks reach 45 m. After a push hits you, your hooks are out for 0.9 s (0.6 s after a pull lets go), so you can’t just grab the nearest candle. The crosshair turns red and reads OUT OF RANGE past that. Power · every correct call raises your power level (max 5) and a wrong one drops it. Each level adds 4 m of rope, 1.2 m and 8% to your push, faster push and pull cooldowns, 12% shot knockback, 10 gas and faster reloads. Leverage · every shot (+8%), push (+18%) and pull (+6%) raises the target's leverage. At 100% the next hit throws them twice as far. It drains after 3 quiet seconds.
