A tiny current. A surprising journey.
A PLAYFUL SPIN ON SPINTRONICS
Go gently.
Drift differently.
Guide a magnetic whirl through a garden of light. Your current bends sideways. Flip its handedness, find your flow, and bring every gate to bloom.
LET THE CURRENT CARRY YOU
Meet your sideways self.
Steer with arrows or WASD. Your whirl drifts a little to the side. Press Space to swap mint + and rose −. Visit numbered gates in order, with the matching sign.
A small bend in the current makes a new kind of path.
MAKE YOUR OWN CURRENT
WASD / ↑↓←→ steer · Space flip · P pause
Release to brake. Or drag anywhere in the garden to set a current.
The science behind the sideways
Skyrmions are tiny whirl-like magnetic textures. They can move at an angle to a driving current: the skyrmion Hall effect. Here, handedness reverses that sideways bend and every garden increases it. The petals, gates and polarity flips are fictional game rules, not a scientific simulator.
Inspired by November 2026 research on the skyrmion Hall effect. Scientific source reference: mumax/3. This original MIT game reuses no upstream code or assets. Artwork generated with a GPT image model.
