HOW TO PLAY

Four little worlds. Follow your curiosity.

Choose a scene, try a tool and see how the surface responds. There is always another way to explore.

  1. A ripple in the pond

    Stir the water, drop in a stone or set a boat afloat. Add a little fish food and watch the koi come closer.

    Trace a line, leave a few footprints or roll a snowball. Look for the little rabbits moving across the snow.

    Tap and chip the ice, scrape away frost or pour warm water. Watch cracks and floating pieces take shape around the penguins.
