The Glasswaltz

A hundred years ago tonight, a masquerade vanished into the great mirror of Ashwick Hall. It never stopped dancing.

The Glasswaltz is an idle game you play to a waltz. Tap the glass on the beat, invite guests, light the chandelier, and fill the floor. Masked strangers walk up the reflection toward you: crack their masks before they reach the glass. When the glass breaks, it mends with a gold seam and the ball begins again, brighter.

• Tap on the beat for more, or let the ball dance while you're away. It keeps going either way.
• Eleven ballrooms deeper in the glass, each with its own floor, light and music
• 16 masks to collect, 40 Calling Cards to earn, and a story told in newspaper clippings and the names of the lost guests
• About 14 hours to the ending, and more after it
• Keyboard, mouse, touch and controller. Relaxed Rhythm for anyone who'd rather not keep time.
• Saves automatically in your browser

This is a playtest build (version 1.3). I'd love to hear:

• Where did you get confused, or not know what to do next?
• Was there a stretch that felt slow or boring? Roughly when?
• Did the rhythm feel fair? Were your taps judged early or late?
• Anything broken, or anything that looked wrong?

Leave a comment below. Tell me what device and browser you played on, and how far you got (the Depth number at the top right).

Best with sound on.
