Flicker - Platformer - Where Visibility is the Enemy

Flicker is an experimental platformer where visibility itself becomes the core mechanic. Created as a Scratch 3.0 test project, the game features random screen flickering that deliberately obscures and reveals the environment. The rule is inversed: when the ground is visible, your character becomes invisible; when the ground darkens, your character lights up.

Core Concept & Safety Warning

This creates a unique challenge where players must memorize pit locations and time their movements with the flicker cycle. The game carries a clear WARNING about flashing lights, as this is not a side effect but the primary gameplay element. All art, coding, and music (titled "The emptiness in darkness") are by @EpicIzAwesome, with the music track available for reuse with credit. Controls remain simple—arrow keys move the character, and avoiding falls is the only objective in this short but conceptually bold experience. For players seeking unconventional platformers, Geometry Dash Wave offers similar reflex challenges.
