The only way up is through yourself.

SELF SUPPORT is a vertical precision platformer where every death becomes a tool. Time only moves when you do—plan your moves carefully, then execute with precision as laser barriers close in around you.

🎮 CORE MECHANICS

⏸️ TIME FREEZE: Stand still and time stops (Superhot-style). Move, and time flows. Plan your strategy, then act.

⚡ TEMPORAL REMNANTS: Every death records your attempt. Your temporal remnant replays that run and becomes a moving platform you can stand on, wall-jump off, or use to activate buttons.

🔴 CLOSING BARRIERS: Two laser barriers slowly close inward throughout each level. The pressure is always on, but the barriers respect your time freeze—giving you space to think.

💀 STRATEGIC DEATH: Sometimes the best move is to die intentionally. Press R to restart and place a remnant exactly where you need it.
