SMALL MOTIONS. A LITTLE MAGIC.
Make a wave.
Carry something lovely.
Three soft bellows. One glass pearl. Open to draw it in;
squeeze from behind to send it home.
A lovely delivery.
THE LITTLE RULES
A squeeze needs somewhere to go.
Open a bellows to draw a neighboring pearl into it. Close it to push the pearl out. An open path toward intake causes backflow: close that path first.
Both neighbors closed? The bellows will wait safely. The cup moves sides when a new crossing begins. Each tap is one motion; take all the time you need.
Keys A S D toggle the bellows. H gives a hint. Tap works too.
Why a squeeze room?
Soft pumps can move liquid with a traveling sequence of contractions. This is a symbolic puzzle inspired by 2026 photoactuated micropump research. Pearls, suction rules, backflow preference and motion counts are invented for play, rather than a fluid simulation.
