Welcome to Blockjaw: the Falling Blocks puzzle game you play with your face. (° _ •) Move the pieces by shifting your mouth left and right, rotate them by blinking, increase fall speed by opening your mouth, and drop them all the way by sticking out your tongue.* Fill entire rows in order to clear them, but be careful because the speed slowly increases as you play. Keep an eye out for future game modes! (*Game requires a device with facial-recognizing AR capabilities. An alternative AR version of the game will still be playable on devices without facial AR, with limited functionality.)

About

Liminal Encounters

Features
Read full description

Scenes are fragments. Encounters are gateways. Drift through a collection of short, atmospheric encounters told through images and minimal text. Each moment hints at a story—never fully explained, always open to interpretation. There are no long narratives. No fixed paths. Only fragments, pauses, and the space between. Explore at your own pace. Return to moments that linger. Let meaning emerge over time. To cross the threshold, you only need to begin.
