## What is Mabayui?

Mabayui is a small rail shooter in which sound and light build up as you play.

Shapes drift towards you along a rail. Press and trace across them to catch up to eight, then let go to fire. Every shot lands on the beat and adds a note. Catch one and you hear one; catch eight at once and the music swells, the colours spread across the screen and the whole picture starts to warp.

Nothing is loaded from a recording. Every sound is synthesized on the device as you play, from sine waves and filtered noise, and the picture reads the same strength as the music, so what you see and what you hear rise and fall together.

Leave it alone for a few seconds and Mabayui plays itself. Watch and listen, or touch the screen at any moment to take over.

There are five stages, each with its own music and visuals. ProgressiveSpectrum, Hardcore and FullOn are free. Tide is a dub techno stage set in deep-blue water, with glowing jellyfish. Lattice is a geometric stage where dots join into a glowing grid. Both are available as separate one-time in-app purchases. You can restore your purchases on other devices using the same Apple Account.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 0.0.4 — 2026-11-06

- Added an interactive tutorial that shows how to catch shapes and release them to play. Skip appears after 30 seconds, and you can replay the tutorial from Settings.
- Added Guide mode in Settings, off by default. When enabled, shapes arrive in stage-specific waves instead of scattered patterns.
- Shot and layering sounds in ProgressiveSpectrum, Hardcore and FullOn now use plucked tones.
- Improved the timing of shot sounds relative to the beat.
- Fixed long stage names being clipped in the menu and unintended switches to manual play after lifting a finger at the screen edge or over the menu.

### 0.0.3 — 2026-10-29

- Refreshed the music in ProgressiveSpectrum, Hardcore, FullOn and Lattice with new synth sounds for melodies, chords and bass, rising accents before the peaks, and more room for the main melodies in quieter sections.
- In Tide, echoes now linger longer in the quiet section and alternate between left and right at the climax. The rest of its music is unchanged.
- In ProgressiveSpectrum and FullOn, the climax melody now develops variations as it repeats.
- Shooting and catching sounds are softer in quiet sections in all five stages, and brighter at the climax in every stage except Tide.
- Touches that begin very close to the screen edge are ignored for gameplay until you lift your finger, helping prevent accidental input while holding the device.
- Shifted the visible (i) menu button slightly toward the corner. Its tap area is unchanged.

### 0.0.2 — 2026-10-26

- New paid stage: Tide, with dub techno, deep-blue water and glowing jellyfish.
- Richer sound: each catch adds a note to the chord, and the music and sound effects now play in stereo.
- New cursors in FullOn and Tide that respond to how you move.
- Each stage now builds to a peak over roughly three to five minutes, then flows into the next cycle.
- Redesigned the menu with tabs and reworked the spark particles.

### 0.0.1 — 2026-10-24

No release notes.
