How to Play

  • Oobleck is a non-Newtonian fluid that acts solid under high stress but liquid under low stress
  • Keep stomping rhythmically - alternating legs creates constant high-stress impacts
  • Stomp hard and fast - the fluid solidifies under pressure, supporting your weight
  • Never stop moving - if you slow down, the fluid liquefies and you sink
  • Find your rhythm - too fast burns energy, too slow and you sink
  • The green bar shows current fluid viscosity (green = solid, red = liquid)
