Thread the Wall
Released 23 September 2026 · PC · Action, Casual, Indie
Twist eight joints in 45-degree steps, match the silhouette in the wall, and launch at 144 km/h. A mouse-only pose-matching runner with 30 hand-built walls, an endless gauntlet, and a two-lane race where you punch and kick through cracked panels.

Rotate your robot's joints until you match it, then launch at 144 km/h and hope you read it right. Eight joints, forty-five degrees at a time Hover a limb, click or scroll, and it snaps 45 degrees. Shoulders swing a full 180, elbows fold to 135, hips and knees do the rest. Bend low enough and your whole body sinks toward the platform, which is how you get under the short holes. Your own parts get in the way: poses that would clip through yourself are simply refused. Everything is on the mouse. Nothing else is required. Three ways to play Stage — 30 hand-built walls across three zones, every one a named pose: T-Pose, Banzai, Flamingo, Scarecrow, Crab.

Randomly generated walls, guaranteed solvable, getting faster and tighter until you break. 40 m/s climbing to 70. Race — Twenty walls, two conveyor lanes, no stopping. Pick your lane, pose with the mouse, and smash the cracked panels with a...
