Our take on Caliper
Caliper departs from puzzle formats centered on a single fixed arrangement by making changing states part of the rules. Freezing, melting, slipping, glowing, and fading alter how elements interact, while ice bridges and portal-linked steps shape the puzzle structure.
What is Caliper?
Caliper is a puzzle game built around shared rules governing devices and environmental effects.
Freezing and melting, braking and slipping, and glowing and fading determine how elements behave. Melted objects cannot be frozen again or swim, while unfired objects can drown and freeze. Ice bridges cannot support fire coals. Some portal steps connect to places associated with falling, clamping, or stars, adding spatial relationships to the puzzle structure.
