CLASSIC ARCADE TOYS • Laser Bouncer – Swipe to fire neon lasers that ricochet off the walls, throwing sparks on every hit. • Fidget Spinner – Tap to add glowing pixels, then flick to spin. It coasts down just like the real thing, with a little click as it turns. • Zen Pond – Tap to drop a pebble, drag to leave a wake, or shake for a rain shower. Watch the glowing motes ride the ripples. • CRT Screen – A classic screensaver with a twist: cheer when the square hits a corner, and enjoy fireworks when the countdown reaches zero. NEW FIDGET TOYS • Sand Mandala – Tilt your phone and layered sand flows, slides and piles into dunes. Hold to pour new colors; shake to start fresh. • Crystal Garden – Tap to grow glowing crystals. Hold longer for bigger ones; shake to shatter them all. • Ink Drop – Watch ink bloom in deep water.
