Keep all the plates spinning — tap each one before it slows to a stop and falls.
Plates sit on top of poles, each one spinning. Friction slowly drops their spin speed; when a plate gets too slow, it wobbles. When it stops, it falls and costs a life.
Tap a plate to give its spin a boost.
New poles join the line every few seconds (up to 6). Friction also rises over time, so every plate needs attention more often.
Lives = 3. Score = seconds survived.
Goal: survive as long as you can.
This is a triage game, not a tapping race. A plate only costs a life when it stops completely, so you do not need every plate spinning fast — you just need none of them to die. Scan constantly left to right and spend your taps on whichever plate is closest to falling, ignoring the ones still spinning healthily even if they look like they could use a boost.
Resist the urge to over-tap a single plate to maximum; that wastes taps you need elsewhere while another plate quietly winds down behind your back. As new poles join and friction rises, your rounds of attention have to come quicker, so build a steady scanning rhythm rather than reacting in panic. Keeping every plate just above the wobble threshold is far more efficient than spinning a few to the top and letting the rest die.
