Many of the toys are inspired by or directly modeled after real physical phenomena and mathematical systems, but with an emphasis on aesthetic appeal and interactivity. + Over 70 unique toys in one app! + Mesmerizing interactive experiences! + Calm and relaxing gameplay experience! + Mind-blowing visual effects unlikely any other app!
