Hydraulic press in Hangillion

What it is

A factory floor, a conveyor belt and a press over his head. The plate inches down with each wrong letter while a pressure gauge climbs. When the last life goes it does not inch any more.

Everything is drawn in pixels, in black, gray, white and two reds, and it is a cartoon: no real people, no real places. It runs in your browser, with no download.

How it plays out, one wrong letter at a time

1. 1. The plate hangs high above.
2. 2. It starts to move.
3. 3. Steam hisses from the pipes.
4. 4. The gauge is in the red.
5. 5. The plate touches his hair.
6. 6 (the last life). It slams down.

Guess the word before the last step and he lives. The scene eases back and he smiles.

What you hear

A hiss of steam, a deep slam and a squelch. The sounds are made in your browser, so there is nothing to load, and you can switch them off with the sound button.

Setting: A grey factory with pipes, a gauge and a moving belt.

How to get it

It comes with Hangillion Max: every ending, now and later, and unlimited words. You can watch it loop in the “Ways to die” gallery on the Hangillion menu, whether or not you own it.
