Pin it. Strike it. Let go.
A physical, tactile iPhone game about spinning objects on a table. Hold an object upright with one finger, strike or rub it with a second, and put everything you have into the launch. Then let go — and watch how long it holds before it wobbles, leans, grinds and clatters flat.
There are no buttons and no virtual stick. The whole game is the way you touch the glass.
Press and hold to stand the object up on its point. Keep it pinned while you set up — let go too early and it just falls over.
Flick or rub with a second finger to wind it up. Timing, direction and how hard you drag all feed straight into the spin.
Lift your finger and it's out of your hands. Now it's just the object, the table, and physics.
Anyone can get something spinning. The game is in getting it spinning well.
The clock runs from the moment you let go until the object finally comes to rest. Every extra second is earned at the launch.
Every full turn is tallied. A fast, tight spin racks up rotations; a slow, stately one buys you time. Great launches get both.
Watch it go through the whole arc — the true spin, the first wobble, the lean, the grinding rattle, and the clatter as it drops.
No power meter to fill and no combo to memorize. You get better because your hands get better.
The coin has to land on something. Watch it settle and see which way it fell.
Skill and patience, not violence and speed. Closer to a coin spinning on a bar top than to an arcade shooter.
Each one has its own weight, balance and way of dying.
The classic. Spins up on its edge, holds a shimmering blur, then falls into a rattling roll and lands heads or tails.
Wooden-style and forgiving. Plenty of mass to carry a spin, if you can get it going straight.
Eight faces balanced on a single point. Unreasonable, unstable, and wonderful when it works.
Turns flat on a bearing instead of standing up. A different problem entirely — all wind-up, almost no wobble.
Paint a profile and it becomes a solid of revolution with real physics. Your shape, your mass distribution, your problem.
The surface changes the mood and the show — the spin is always the star.
Green casino felt for the purists. Deep space with a starfield and no floor at all. A lit disco floor of colored tiles. Or water, rippling out from wherever the point touches down.
One purchase from the App Store and the whole game is yours.
