ONE BUTTON. TWO OUTCOMES.
WE WROTE A 40-PAGE DESIGN DOC. THEN FAIZ DELETED 39 PAGES. THIS IS THE PAGE THAT SURVIVED.
HOLD = CLIMB
SPACE OR TOUCH
THE WAU BULAN RISES LIKE IT'S GOT SOMEWHERE TO BE. IT DOESN'T. KEEP IT ALIVE ANYWAY.
RELEASE = DIVE
LET GO
GRAVITY WORKS THE SAME IN KELANTAN AS EVERYWHERE ELSE. FASTER, IF YOU'RE COCKY.
READ THE WIND
ARROWS = WARNING
WHEN THE ARROWS FLASH, A GUST IS COMING TO SHOVE YOU. LEAN AGAINST IT OR EAT PADI.
THE NIGHT SHIFT
THREE THINGS WANT YOUR KITE OUT OF THE SKY. NONE ARE SORRY.
ENGGANG
THE HORNBILL. FASTER THAN YOU. ALWAYS. FLIES DEAD STRAIGHT BECAUSE IT HAS NOTHING TO PROVE.
AWAN RIBUT
THE STORM CLOUD. IT DOESN'T MOVE. YOU DO. TOUCH IT AND THE LIGHTNING DOES THE PAPERWORK.
ANGIN
THE GUST. YOU'LL FEEL IT BEFORE YOU SEE IT. UP OR DOWN, DEALER'S CHOICE. THE ARROWS ARE YOUR ONLY WARNING.
THE CABINET REMEMBERS
SCORES FROM CABINET №001, THE MAMAK ON JALAN PINTU PONG. MAK CIK ROS IS RANK 3 AND SHE PLAYS WITH ONE HAND.
| RANK | NAME | METERS | NOTE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | FAI | 4,120M | WROTE THE WIND. STILL LOST TO IT ONCE. |
| 02 | ADA | 3,980M | DREW EVERY PIXEL. BLAMES THE PIXELS. |
| 03 | ROS | 2,214M | ONE HAND. TEH TARIK IN THE OTHER. |
| 04 | JEP | 1,876M | RAGE-QUIT. CAME BACK. RAGE-QUIT AGAIN. |
| ?? | YOU | 0M | YOUR MOVE |
BEAT FAI AND WE'LL PAINT YOUR NAME ON THE CABINET. REAL PAINT. WE'RE NOT ANIMALS.
BUILT WHERE THE WAU FLIES
TWO COUSINS. ONE SHOPLOT ABOVE A TAILOR IN KOTA BHARU, KELANTAN — THE STATE WHERE THE WAU BULAN WAS BORN AND WHERE IT STILL OWNS THE SKY EVERY DRY SEASON.
ADAM DRAWS THE PIXELS. HE GREW UP GLUING BAMBOO SPARS WITH HIS GRANDFATHER, WHO FLEW KITES TALLER THAN THE BOTH OF THEM. FAIZ WRITES THE WIND. HE MEASURED REAL MONSOON GUSTS OFF PANTAI CAHAYA BULAN AND FED THEM TO THE GAME. NEITHER APOLOGIZES.
IN 2019 THEY BOLTED THEIR FIRST CABINET TOGETHER FROM A DEAD CRT AND A DRAWER OF ARCADE PARTS. ONE BUTTON, BECAUSE THE WAU ONLY KNOWS ONE TRUTH: HOLD, OR LET GO.
CABINET №001 STILL STANDS AT THE MAMAK ON JALAN PINTU PONG. THE HIGH SCORE HASN'T MOVED SINCE HARI RAYA 2023. THE TEH TARIK IS EXCELLENT. THE GAME IS NOT FAIR. BOTH ARE ON PURPOSE.
