## What is 金継 KINTSUGI?

Every break. A new beginning.

KINTSUGI is a one-thumb arcade game about mending broken pottery with gold. Trace the glowing seams as the shards drift back together, dust them with gold, polish them to a shine, and watch a centuries-old bowl come back whole, more beautiful for having broken.

MEND WITH ONE THUMB
• Swipe through each lit seam in time. Strike early for a Crisp hit, chain your strikes and set off Golden Time.
• Fill chipped gaps, seat staples in imported wares, and borrow a shard from another vessel.
• Finish every piece by dusting and polishing the gold.
• Pick it up for a minute, or mend as far as three drops of lacquer will take you.

A COLLECTION WITH A HISTORY
• Raku, Shino, Oribe, Arita, Kutani, Bizen and imported Karamono, each kiln with its own forms, glazes and stories.
• Give your finest pieces a name, set them in your alcove, and watch for rare kiln transmutations.

MEET THE SPIRITS
• Tsukumogami are spirits that wake in long-cherished objects. Mend their vessels to wake them, follow their stories, and bring their gifts into your workshop.

YOUR WORKSHOP AND YOUR TOWN
• Take commissions, visit the appraiser, trade finished work for sealed boxes, and host tea gatherings.
• Help the quiet street outside your workshop come back to life.

EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK
• Vessel of the Day: one piece, one attempt, the same for everyone.
• Kiln Opening: five vessels and a new set each week.
• Game Center leaderboards.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• An unhurried first lesson, untimed practice, and Dry Fit with no timer or score.
• Wider targets, a guide line, reduced motion and adjustable haptics.
• Available in 11 languages.

Fair by design: nothing to buy and no forced ads. An ad plays only when you choose to watch one for a reward.
