Description

--- "The Fly" game mechanic enables versatile movement by leaping onto an opponent's last active bug before sliding to a nearby empty ground space. Key mechanics include: - *Targeted leap* The Fly flies from any position to land on any bug the opponent placed, moved, or flipped on their last turn, including those atop stacks. - *Descent maneuver* After landing, it moves one space downward into an empty adjacent space at ground level. The Fly's movement rule provides dynamic positioning in the game: from its current location anywhere on the board, it can directly target and land upon any single bug that the opponent manipulated—via placement, movement, or flipping—during their immediately preceding turn. This targeting explicitly encompasses bugs positioned on the summit of stacks. Subsequently, the Fly executes a vertical descent, shifting precisely one space downward to occupy an unoccupied, neighboring space situated at the ground level, enabling strategic repositioning while adhering to adjacency and emptiness constraints. ---
