Masquerade Shift

Unite thirty-two guests at the central ballroom wearing the Owl mask. Select a party and tap its destination. Fox F moves exactly one diagonal square, Owl O one side-touching square, and Stag S any clear straight row or column. Equal-sized parties fuse at the destination and keep the destination’s mask. The dark pillars block landing and Stag paths. Exchange mode swaps the masks of any two parties without moving their guests; only two costume exchanges are available. Movement, fusion, costume exchange and Wait spend one of eighteen dance beats. Preserve the Owl identity for the final ballroom party rather than absorbing it into a Fox. Keyboard: Tab and Enter/Space operate buttons; R restarts.
