Duet — souls in pair

Duet is a contemplative micro-game about pairing. Colored souls drift across a midnight canvas, each in its own hue — rose, peach, gold, mint, lavender. Tap one and it brightens. Tap a second one, and a thread of light binds them. They drift toward each other, meet in a heart-shaped pulse, and begin orbiting in a slow waltz that blends their colors into a single trail.

How to play

Drag anywhere to send a wind through the night. The wind pushes nearby souls in the direction of your gesture. Push two souls into each other and they bind: a heart of light bursts outward in their blended hue, and they begin orbiting each other in a slow waltz. Tap an empty area to bring a new soul into the world. Use + soul to add one anywhere, release to free every dancing pair back into the drift, or clear to start over.

Why it's satisfying

There is no goal. No score. No timer. Just the small ritual of choosing two and watching them find each other — the spring tightening, the meeting, the burst of color, then the slow eternal orbit that traces beautiful overlapping curves of mixed hues. It's the visual poem of harmony: two distinct colors, blended into one ongoing dance.
