## What is Bamboo Cicada?

Bamboo Cicada turns a traditional Chinese folk sound toy into a small iPhone experience.

The real bamboo cicada is usually made from bamboo, cord, and a paper cylinder. When swung by hand, it produces a sound like a cicada call. This app uses motion sensing, sound, and haptic feedback to recreate the gentle charm of shaking a summer toy in a bamboo forest.

Key features:

- A bamboo forest and scroll-inspired visual style
- Shake your iPhone to spin the bamboo cicada
- Cicada-like sound that changes with motion rhythm
- Haptic feedback for start pulses, spinning motion, and beat-like vibration
- Bilingual introduction to the toy's materials, play pattern, and folk background
- Useful for family play, cultural demos, classroom introductions, or a quiet moment of fun
- Multilingual interface support

Bamboo Cicada focuses on one simple feeling: meeting a humble traditional Chinese sound toy again through touch, motion, and the sound of summer.
