BACKUP CAPITAL: SWITCH ON

Passing the framework only pulls the starter. Building the backup begins here.

Spread twelve functions from the top rail.
  1. Tap any point on the rail to release a capsule.
  2. Read the moving gates and distribute capsules across five facilities.
  3. A fourth capsule in one facility raises its overload shutter.
Touch/mouse: top rail. Keyboard: ←/→ to move, Space to drop. Every rapid input is accepted.

Satire about treating a legal framework as finished implementation. It does not mock Osaka, disaster victims, any party, or an individual politician.

About this news game

Why a drop machine? The vote becomes only a starter lever. Administration, communications, transport, economy and data must still be distributed before a backup system exists—turning the gap between legal framework and implementation into the board itself.

The displayed ideal is 10,000, while the mathematical ceiling is 9,760. Spread the load and preserve redundancy to approach S rank.

BACKUP CAPITAL: SWITCH ON
News summary
On July 24, Japan’s House of Councillors passed a deputy-capital framework by 123 votes to 121. No city—including Osaka—has been designated yet; a prefectural application and later designation process are still required. Now switch on the backup, not merely the law.
