# Lumen Weaver judge guide

This is the fastest path for evaluating the Agent Arcade entry without installing anything.

## First 60 seconds

1. Open the [public game](https://lumen-weaver-arcade.indierepo.chatgpt.site/) and select **Enter the Loom**.
2. Move with the mouse, WASD, or arrow keys toward the mote marked `NEXT`.
3. Collect the three colors shown in the sequence. A completed sequence charges the trail.
4. Draw around nearby lights and press Space to stitch the loop. The enclosed lights become score and bonus time.
5. Avoid dim voids: they reset the sequence and remove three seconds.

A full run lasts 2:45 and moves through **Awaken**, **Tidal**, and **Nova**, with increasing speed, hazard density, and score multipliers.

## Rubric evidence

| Criterion | What to check |
|---|---|
| Playability and fun | Immediate controls, in-field `NEXT` guidance, score feedback, loop bonuses, hazards, pause, restart, and a complete timed run |
| Originality | Ordered color collection charges the movement trail; the player's freeform path then becomes a scoring enclosure |
| Polish | Three audiovisual acts, animated feedback, responsive HUD, Web Audio effects, reduced-motion handling, and resilient local personal best |
| Shareability | Final rank, run statistics, deterministic challenge code, native share sheet, and clipboard fallback |
| Delivery clarity | Public demo, gameplay GIF, README, browser QA, source ZIP, cloneable Git repository, and hash manifest |
