Timing Gate
Run through opening and closing gates at desert sunset. Pass open gates for a point, or go ghost at the right moment to slip through a closed one for a bonus.
Timing Gate is a one-button runner set against a glowing desert sunset. Your little cube runs forward on its own while gates ahead open and close at their own rhythm. Teal gates are open enough to pass. When a gate turns red it is about to crunch shut, and touching it ends the run unless you are a ghost. It is easy to learn and hard to put down.
Press once to turn ghostly for a split second and phase through anything, including a fully closed gate. Ghosting through a red gate earns three points instead of one, but the ghost power needs a short cooldown, shown as a ring around your cube, so you cannot spam it. That makes every gate a small decision: wait for an opening, or take the risk for a perfect bonus. The run speeds up as your score climbs, and the gates spread out to keep things fair.
This game is ideal for quick sessions and anyone who loves rhythm and timing challenges. Play with Space, Enter, a click or a tap anywhere. Tip: save your ghost for gates that will be closed when you reach them, and let the open ones carry you while the cooldown refills.
How to play
Your runner moves automatically. Teal gates are open and safe to pass for one point. Red gates are closing and will crunch you, unless you press to go ghost just before you reach them, which scores three points. Ghosting has a short cooldown. One hit ends the run.
