Sakurayu

Read full description

Cherry blossoms fall from an old tree beside a river. A small woven basket drifts in the current. Gather the petals gently into the basket — not with force, but with patience. Each season asks a little more of you. The wind shifts. The river quickens. But there is no timer, no score, no failure. Only the quiet rhythm of petals on water. Sakurayu is a meditative game about presence and impermanence. Play through dozens of seasons, each one passing like the last. Drag to move the basket through a flowing river. Wind carries petals in gentle, unpredictable gusts. Petals settle in the basket. You don't know how many seasons you will get, so enjoy it while it lasts...

SLICE and STACK — The Precision Cutting Game Slice beautiful 3D objects in half with surgical precision. Choose from 30 unique blades, master 50+ real-world materials, and build the tallest tower from your cut pieces. SLICE IT Draw your cut line across stunning 3D objects — jade, crystal, diamond, plasma, and more. Every material behaves differently. Use water cooling for hard materials, pick the right blade, and aim for the perfect 50/50 split. STACK IT Every piece you cut gets stacked onto your tower. Choose wisely — bigger pieces score more points but can destabilize your tower. Balance risk and reward as your tower grows taller with each level. 30 UNIQUE BLADES Start with a Laser and Katana, then unlock Diamond Saw, Plasma Cutter, Ice Blade, Flame Sword, and 24 more — all the way up to the devastating Big Bang blade. Each blade cuts differently with unique visual effects, trail patterns, and debris. 50+ REAL MATERIALS Cut through Oak Wood, Granite, Gold, Crystal, Obsidian, Ruby, Diamond, Plasma Core, Meteorite, and more. Each material has real-world density, hardness, and friction that affects how your blade performs. LEARN WHILE YOU PLAY Every material and blade comes with fascinating real-world science trivia. Did you know diamonds form 100 miles deep under 725,000 PSI?
