TIDELATCH: Open Ahead, Flood Behind

TIDELATCH is an original single-player fine-pixel remix of the classic Flood Escape button route. Three shafts own separate authoritative water levels and rafts. Every action resolves one published shaft surge. Board at the exact water surface to ride upward; a closed gate physically pins the raft and costs Air. Pressing A, B or C opens its gate and rotates every future surge. Finite Diverts let the player alter the current flow before it resolves. Dry ledges restore Air, submerged endings spend it, and all required latches must open before the runner reaches the crown exit.
