About the Game

Don't touch the walls. While 1 is a minimalist mouse-only action game centered around this simple concept. Create a loop around the level while avoiding obstacles synchronized to the music.

 

Don't Touch The Walls:

  • One rule: don't touch the walls.

  • Create a loop around the level. If you touch any of the walls, you must start over.

  • Inspired by games in the Flash-era, While 1 recreates the satisfaction of this genre of gameplay as a complete experience.

 

 

Mouse Only Controls:

  • Designed to be played entirely with a mouse, the game tests your precision and coordination.

  • Some levels will require quick movements and careful timing to overcome.

 

 

 

Collect Particles:

  • Particles are collectibles that appear throughout some levels.

  • All particles must be collected before finishing the loop.

 

 

Quick Respawn:

  • If you hit a wall, the level can be restarted instantly by just returning to the start point, making attempts feel riskless.

 

 

Normal & Expert Modes:

  • Each song will have 2 levels sets: Normal & Expert.

  • Enjoy the music in Normal mode for a more casual experience, or take on the Expert levels for an even greater challenge.
