Shape, color, sound. That is what is here. Touch one, and it sounds. The language spoken here is the one you are about to make. - touch a sign - drag from one sign to another - press first, then drag — a sign to carry it, empty space to enclose - touch the ring at the top right Touch, and it sounds. Bond, and the sounding changes. Keep going. There comes a moment when the sounding settles, and something comes into being and joins your hand. You start with five signs. What grows from there is decided by your own hands, and the board becomes yours in the measure that you have touched it. What you make stays on your device, and can leave it as a single image. Beyond the first world, you can add other worlds as in-app purchases. Each world has its own signs and its own sounds, and grows a language of its own. Every sound is made in the moment you hear it. It sits alongside music from other apps, so you can play while you listen.
