How do I get away from a rival I cannot beat?

Drag far right and hold until the tangle breaks. A stroke that only passes through the right side will not do it — you have to hold there.

Do I keep my manjha between runs?

No. Every run starts on the weakest string. Taking a revive keeps the one you had.

Pech!

How to play

Score as many points as you can. Obstacles are a point each, cutting a rival is twenty-five, and the run ends when your three lives are gone.

A rival tangles your string, and both cutting meters start filling.
The higher kite cuts faster — and only movement saws. A still kite cuts almost nothing.
Drag far right and HOLD to pay out your line. That breaks the tangle, and refuses the fight.
Cutting a rival earns your next manjha. Being cut costs a life and one manjha.
Three lives. Every run starts on the weakest string.

Drag anywhere — the kite follows your thumb. Arrow keys work too.

About Pech!

A kite fight played with your thumb. Trees, swings and birds come in from the right and every one you clear is a point. Then a rival kite tangles your string, and the fight turns on two things you control: getting above them, and keeping your hand moving. Cut a rival loose to climb a ladder of stronger manjhas, or pay out your line and refuse the fight altogether. Three lives, no clock.
