Read full description

Cut colorful paper into playful shapes, then turn your finished pieces into a little world. Slice Orbit is a paper-cutting puzzle game where timing meets geometry. Watch the moving marker, place two points, slide either tip inward to refine your cut, and tap Cut. Match the target's shape and proportions; size and position don't have to be exact. 160 PUZZLES. 20 PAPER WORLDS. Discover houses, animals, garden creations and more across 20 chapters. Each chapter includes a harder puzzle when you're ready for a challenge. Aim for three stars or keep experimenting with your shape. CUT, EXPERIMENT, TRY AGAIN Choose which piece to keep, explore inward cuts and openings, and use free Undo whenever you want another try. A mistake can be the start of a better idea. YOUR CUTS BECOME THE ART Collect the pieces you finish. Complete a chapter to see your own cut shapes brought together in a little paper world. A LITTLE HELP WHEN YOU WANT IT Hints suggest your next cut. Slow Orbit slows the moving marker for one cut. Choose when to use your power-ups as you work toward a closer match. PAPER WITH PERSONALITY Layered textures, soft shadows, gentle music and satisfying cut animations bring each creation to life. Make a few cuts on a short break or settle in for a longer puzzle session. The puzzles can be played offline; optional rewarded ads and cloud saves require an internet connection. What will you make from the next sheet?
