Project Mechanics

• WASD controls the player's horizontal movement
• <> controls the player's vertical movement
• The player's distance from the terrain affects width (closer: wider)
• The 'l' key makes the line more opaque
• The 'k' key makes the line more transparent
• The 'p' key creates a branch line that reconnects once lifted
• The 'o' key creates the first branch and a second branch that reconnects once lifted
