HOW TO PLAY SIGNAL PITCH

Signal Pitch is a tactical signal-routing sport — a reactive-audio rhythm game played in your browser. No install. No tutorial popups. Tap, chain, flip, score.

01 — CARRIER WAVE

Tap a teammate to send the carrier wave. The ball is a signal, not an object — it travels along the network you draw with each pass. Hold for direction; release to commit.

02 — HARMONIC LOCK

A chain of 4+ clean passes triggers a harmonic lock. The longer the chain at pass-completion, the higher your charge multiplier — 4–5 → ×1, 6–7 → ×2, 8+ → ×3. Idle time does nothing; only chain length pays.

03 — PRESSURE SILENCE

When the enemy network closes in, the field ducks to near-silence. That hush is the cue — flip ownership manually before the pressure window decays. Miss the window and the carrier wave inverts to them.

04 — RESONANCE SPIKE

The goal is a rotating arc. Release on the harmonic lock with the arc inside your sector and the chain converts to a resonance spike — your score. Bigger chains, bigger spikes.

05 — DUEL MODE

Same seed, same challenge. Share a /duel/code link with a friend, run the identical match, and the higher resonance spike wins. PvP is solo's competitive extension — same rules, no tackles, no fouls. Signal control only.
