About

Foldway

You hold a sheet made of coloured squares and holes. Tap a line and the smaller side folds over the bigger one. The top colour shows, and the holes reveal what is underneath. Fold in the right order to match the target pattern above. The levels are bound into fifteen notebooks of twenty. Early notebooks need only a few folds. Later, two-sided paper reveals a different colour when flipped. In the ninth notebook, tracing paper lets you mix red, yellow and blue into new colours. • 300 levels in 15 notebooks • Gradual difficulty and free practice guidance • Colour-mixing tracing paper and two-sided sheets • Hints, undo and restart • A daily puzzle, streaks and achievements • Offline play with no account or ads One fold. A thousand ways.
