Kite duel · single player

Cross lines. Cut first.

Layangin is a kite duel played the way it is played on a field at dusk: you only win by wearing through the other line where the two cross. Wind, tension and timing decide it — not button mashing.

What is actually simulated

The wind does the work

The kite is not on rails. Every frame it is solved from the air moving over it.

  • Wind that changes with height

    Wind is slower near the ground and picks up with altitude, following the standard power-law profile. Lose height and you lose lift — which is why altitude is worth fighting for.

  • Lift and drag from angle of attack

    The sail is solved as a thin plate: lift peaks around 45° and collapses past it. Hold too steep an angle and the kite stalls and drops out of the sky.

  • A line that sags and snaps

    Pay line out and the belly drops into a visible catenary; haul in and it goes straight. Load it past its breaking tension in a gust and it parts on its own.

  • Cutting by abrasion

    Where the lines cross, damage depends on how fast they slide, how hard they press, and which line is tauter. The tighter line acts as the blade.

The rack

Eight airframes, not eight colours

Each kite is a different shape with different numbers behind it. A long-tailed janggan really is steadier and slower than a bare delta.

The ladder

Eight opponents, three of them bosses

Difficulty is in the hands, not the gear. A boss reacts in a fifth of a second and rarely wastes stamina; it does not get a stronger line than you can buy.

Questions

Before you start

  • Is it free?

    Yes, and there is nothing to buy. Coins are earned by playing and only exist inside the game.

  • Do I need an account?

    No. Progress is saved in your own browser storage. There is no sign-up and no server holding your data.

  • Does it work on a phone?

    Yes. On a touch screen the arena shows an on-screen spool and yank button instead of keyboard controls.

  • Can I play against a friend?

    Not yet. Only matches against the AI are available today. The simulation was built to be deterministic so online play can be added later, but it is not implemented.

  • Does it work offline?

    Not currently. The page needs to load once from the network; there is no offline mode yet.
