Three Mappie sessions I keep open in the loft

12 November — I sat with Gate Slalom, Kite Hen and Frost Kite again. They run in the browser under this roof; there is no store listing, so I write what I can feel in a run, not numbers I invent.

Mappie ranking I wrote after the loft check

Order is my dated opinion of our own work. Each card links to a review and to a play page that frames the HTML session.

NO. 1

Gate Slalom icon

Gate Slalom

Mappie Games

The loft opener: a hen, fence posts, and gold gates that swing if you stretch too far.

NO. 2

Kite Hen

Mappie Games

The loft air lane: hold the string, dive for corn, and keep clear of hawks and wires.

NO. 3

Frost Kite icon

Frost Kite

Mappie Games

The cold loft: skate, dip the kite into holes, and leave before the ice gives way.

Why this Mappie shortlist stays at three

12 November — I almost added a fourth draft from the loft floor, then put it back. Three sessions is enough for a clear weave, a wind ride, and an ice dip without padding the list.

Pick of the list

Gate Slalom is the Mappie run I open first

Gate Slalom icon

Weave a hen through farm fence gates on a downhill dash; cut close posts for near-miss combo, stretch for swinging gold gates, but a closed gate or fox ends the run.

How I check a Mappie session in the loft

  1. Play each build from the framed stage and note the fail states.
  2. Write the mechanic in one sentence without inventing store metrics.
  3. Rank by how clearly the loop teaches itself on a first loft visit.
  4. Date the check and keep the same three until a real re-check.
