HAND SIGNAL

HAND SIGNAL is a tiny arcade game you play with your bare hand. No controller, no keyboard - just a webcam.

Fly a little ship through 20 pipes and see what is waiting at the end.

HOW TO START

1. Allow camera access when your browser asks.
2. Raise your hand to the camera. The ship on the title screen follows it.
3. Show a peace sign (V) and hold it for a moment.
4. Open your palm to take off.

CONTROLS

OPEN PALM	Rise, for as long as you hold it
LOOSE FIST	Do nothing, the ship falls
TIGHT FIST	Dash forward (2 second cooldown)
HAND OUT OF VIEW	Pause

TIPS

• The loose fist is the trick. Relax your hand into a soft, half-closed fist and the game sees neither an open palm nor a fist, so the ship just falls. Use it to come down without dashing by accident.
• To dash again, relax your hand first, then squeeze a tight fist.
• Keep your whole hand in frame, wrist included, about an arm's length from the camera. Good lighting helps a lot.
• If the ship stops responding, check the top-left corner of the title screen. It shows what the camera is doing.

NO WEBCAM?

Press Esc, then T to switch to keyboard, then G to go back.

D = start, S = rise, A = dash. Keep the mouse pointer inside the game.
