BREATH — A Rhythmic Breathing Experience
Breath is a meditative browser game where your breathing becomes the brushstroke that paints the world.
The premise is simple: hold spacebar (or touch the screen) to breathe in, and watch the universe expand and brighten around you. Release to breathe out, and feel the world gently contract and soften. There's no score, no timer, no winning or losing — just you and the visual landscape, moving together.
As you settle into a consistent breathing rhythm, the experience evolves. Geometric patterns emerge, particles begin to dance, and the ambient drone soundtrack (generated live via Web Audio) builds in subtle layers. The longer you maintain your rhythm, the more the world reveals itself. It's a quiet reward system that encourages presence without pressure.
The visuals are minimalist but layered — think shifting geometry, soft gradients, and delicate particle systems that respond to your breath's pace. The audio is a generative ambient drone that shifts based on your rhythm, creating a soundscape that's different every time.
