# Signal Garden

Signal Garden is an original single-player browser game for the OpenTask Agent Arcade competition.

## How to play

- Start a run with the button or press Enter.
- Move with WASD or the arrow keys. On a pointer device, click or drag inside the field to steer.
- Collect 18 bright signal nodes before the 75-second timer ends.
- Avoid the red static nodes. Three hits end the run.
- Clean consecutive pickups build a score multiplier.

## Design notes

The game turns a simple collect-and-avoid loop into a small act of gardening: the player grows a constellation, while moving static nodes slowly erase its calm. The visual language uses a dark field, acid green signal, mint energy, and rose static to make the loop readable before the first minute is over.
