Built for a one-week assignment, this tightrope-walking simulation, built in PlayCanvas, uses exaggerated balance physics to recreate the feeling of actually standing on a real rope. Every step makes the line dip and sway, and the camera subtly shifts with your movement, so you’re constantly aware of how easily things can go off-balance. The rope’s reactions, the footstep timing, and the camera tilt all work together to keep you on edge as you try to stay upright.

The exaggerated swaying also plays into a larger metaphor — walking the tightrope of life. Every little adjustment matters, and you’re always trying to find that sweet spot between leaning too far or correcting too hard. It turns the simple act of moving forward into a small, symbolic reminder of balance, patience, and staying steady even when things feel unstable.
