About Live Wires

You control a small figure who must navigate a single screen filled with crisscrossing wires. Your immediate goal is to reach a moving platform at the bottom before a separate, descending barrier crushes you from above. You jump from wire to wire, but each one is live; touching any part of it except for the insulated endpoints means instant failure. The timing for your jumps feels precise, as you often have to wait for the right moment when two safe points align. You might collect items for points or extra attempts, but the core challenge is in the route planning and execution. The game moves at a deliberate, tense pace where one mistimed move ends your run. It feels like a careful, methodical dance with a constant threat of a sudden stop.
