Twine
Two kites, one hand.
Twine is a one-touch arcade game with a twist that makes your thumb think twice. Hold to lift the indigo kite and let go to let it sink; the vermilion kite repeats every move 0.65 seconds later, mirrored in the lower sky. Flocks of paper birds guard the gaps in both skies, so every input has to suit the kite you see now and the one that will copy it. The world is a Metal renderer of kirie paper cuts on washi, from a dawn shore to rice paddies at noon to a lantern festival at night, under SwiftUI screens built from one theme. It ships with missions, a Daily Run with a ghost kite and a widget, a Kite Shed of shapes and papers, and a StoreKit 2 stall.

Every screen, built
Real captures from the iOS Simulator. The menus, the shop and the progress screens ship in the source, not just the board.
Title and Play are open. The other 3 screens are part of SwiftPieces Games. It opens every screen, and the full Xcode project to build them.
