The problem
Relaxing games tend to drift into timers, ads and pressure. Very few reward touch rather than speed.
What I built
- Peel-back coatings that curl under your finger, drawn in real time
- Wiping dust and frost, and polishing wood, copper and glaze until they shine
- 60 objects across Autumn Woods, Winter Village and Spring Meadow
- A seasonal map and a sticker collection that fills as you play
Decisions
The feel under the finger is the whole game, so coatings and polish are drawn in real time with Skia rather than played back as canned animations.
No timers and no score pressure. An object is finished when it looks finished.
