About the game
Tightrope is a balancing act on a wire high above the ground. Your acrobat walks forward on their own; your job is to keep them upright. Hold the left or right side of the screen to lean, and let go before you overcorrect. Watch the leaves and flags: they warn you which way the next gust will push.
Before every rope you choose a balancing pole. A short pole walks fast and reacts instantly, but every gust hits hard. A long pole is slow and calm, giving you more time to catch a wobble. Stars reward finishing, beating the target time and never tipping too far, so speed and safety pull against each other. Twenty ropes take you from a calm morning canyon to stormy rooftops at night, with birds landing on your pole and the wire swaying under your feet.
