About the game
Dash through a hostile circuit arena and turn every close call into charge.
Feral Circuit is a survival arena about movement, timing, and nerve. Evade tracking drones, cut through charge gates, and spend stored energy on a phase dash before the circuit closes in.
The design choice that shapes everything is that charge only comes from proximity. Skimming a gate at a safe distance gives you almost nothing; passing close enough to be genuinely at risk fills the meter fast. That inverts the usual survival instinct — playing safe is how you run out of dash, and running out of dash is how the drones eventually corner you.
Drones track your predicted position rather than your current one, which means a straight line is the easiest thing in the game to punish. Good runs look jittery on purpose: small direction changes keep the prediction wrong without spending the distance a real evasion costs.
Forty-five seconds is short enough that a failed run costs almost nothing, and the arena shrinks on a fixed schedule, so improvement is measurable rather than lucky.
How to play
Survive for forty-five seconds. Move with WASD or the arrow keys, or use the virtual pad on touch. Skim charge gates to fill the dash meter and press Space to phase dash through danger when it is full.
Contact with a drone removes one core; losing all cores ends the run.
Charge scales with how close you pass, so a cautious lap leaves you with no dash when the arena tightens. Drones aim where you are going, not where you are, so change direction in small increments rather than committing to long straight runs.
