Paper Fold

What the captured frame shows

One sheet of paper, a dashed fold line, and no numbers on screen

The frame captured for this brief holds the game's own artwork rather than a menu: two hands hold a white sheet of paper printed with a green cartoon creature in red headphones and marked with a dashed outline, and nothing is drawn over the top of it. No counter, button label or level number is readable anywhere in the capture, so the numbers below come from the build's own files rather than from the screen.

What the build ships

The playable file names itself Paper-Fold-3d and carries 36 paper props as 3D models, each one an object a sheet can be folded into: a dinosaur, a panda, a rabbit, a treasure box, an ice cube, a watermelon, a cake, a banana and more. The play HUD keeps one text label, LV, beside the level number, and the first background the build offers is a wood-grain one.

What one press does

Every piece carries an open angle, a close angle and one hinge

Each foldable piece is a 3D node holding three values: the axis it hinges on, which is x, y or z; the angle it reaches when folded; and the angle it returns to when unfolded. A press tweens the node to that angle over 300 ms and the fold lands, and pressing the same piece again folds it back open. Nothing is dragged, so a move is one press on one piece.

Why the order is checked

The game records the order of your presses. Each press takes the next click index from the piece manager, each piece remembers the index it expects, and the manager compares the two when the fold completes. Pieces are also layered rather than stacked on one plane: a folded piece is nudged 0.0001 of a unit per click index so that two folds never sit in exactly the same place.

For the first two folds of a level the build draws a pointing hand at the piece it wants next, then hides it again after those two presses, so a new level shows its own opening order before it stops helping.

Hearts, energy and the chest

Three hearts a run, six energy points a session

The build's own config sets the life ceiling to 3 and the energy ceiling to 6. A failed fold takes one heart off the row unless an unlimited-stamina window is running, and watching a video restores 3 hearts at once. Energy refills one point every 300 seconds, which is the 5-minute clock the game advertises, and a video hands back 5 points.

What a cleared level pays

Clearing a level pays 50 gold. Every 3 levels, starting at level 1, the game opens a 3x3 grid chest that pays between 85 and 100 gold, and the first full-screen ad is scheduled for level 3. Backgrounds and stage sets are the long spend: 6 backgrounds unlock at levels 1, 2, 3, 7, 12 and 16 for 300, 700, 800 and 1500 gold, and 6 stage sets unlock at levels 3, 6, 10, 14, 18 and 22 for 100, 300, 700 and 1200 gold. Gold starts at 0.

Checks before the first fold

Hearts, order and the chest

These answers stay with what the build does and with the one frame that could be captured: a sheet of paper with a dashed fold line, a hand holding it, and no readouts anywhere on screen. The habits worth forming are simple: watch which piece the pointing hand asks for, and keep the fold order the panel expects.
