Ruvento Tap

High over a rocky ridge, paper kites climb on a single shared wind. All of them drift the same way, because there is only one wind in this sky — and one tap, anywhere on the screen, turns it around. Every kite reverses at the same instant. That is your only control, and it is a blunt one. You cannot pick out a kite, nudge a kite or hold one still. You flip the sky, and the whole flock answers together. The catch is that the kites are not identical: a light one slides fast, a heavier one lags behind, and after a flip they begin pulling apart from each other instead of moving as one block. Your goal is the notch — a narrow gap in the ridge that every kite has to pass through. So you watch the spread, let the quick ones run, flip the wind to bring the slow ones back up, then flip again to line the leaders up with the gap. Mistime it and a kite drifts onto a crag, and the ridge keeps it. Fourteen levels work through every version of that problem: more kites in the air, a notch set further off the line they want to take, crags placed exactly where a long drift ends, and spreads so wide that no single flip can serve the whole flock. Then you stop thinking about one perfect moment and start bringing the kites through in waves. One tap, one wind, every kite. Watch, wait, flip.
