Fairgo
Fairgo is one simple contest of rhythm: a marker rests on a rope between your line and the AI's, and every well-timed tap drags it your way. Tap fast and the marker still moves - but land your taps inside the beat window, a forgiving pocket around the level's ideal rhythm, and each pull lands with close to full force. Miss the beat and the tap still counts, just for less.
Your rival never stops hauling back. Each of the twenty matches is powered by a real, deterministic pull curve - a steady haul cadence that dips as the rival tires and recovers, seeded so the exact same match plays out the exact same way if you play it the exact same way. Strength, stamina, and how narrow the beat window gets all climb match by match, so level one rewards simple rhythm and level twenty demands real precision.
Win the instant you drag the marker over your own line. Lose the instant the rival hauls it past theirs - there is no other way a match ends. Clean, fast wins earn full stars and a bigger purse of coins to spend in the shop between matches. Every rope you take is pulled by your own thumb and your own timing; nothing here is bought.
Fairgo - tap the beat, take the rope
