About

Waxpop!

Features
Read full description

Crack a shell of hard wax and meet the squishy hiding inside. ■ The joy of breaking It starts solid. Press and hold to make the first crack and the wax splits with a snap. Every tap and pull sends more flakes tumbling off. The sound is a real recording of wax breaking. ■ The squishy underneath Strip all the wax away and a squishy is waiting. Push and it sinks slowly; let go and it eases back. Every knead comes with its own crunch. ■ Real sound, real vibration Nothing is synthesised. Cracking, flaking and kneading each sound different, and the haptics answer the sound. ■ How to play · Press and hold — the first crack · Tap — break that spot open · Pull with two fingers — tear a flake away · Swipe — roll the ball and work the other side · Shake — hear the loose pieces rattle ■ Several balls Different colours, different hardness. Pick a favourite and start breaking from scratch. Best with headphones.
