How to play

• The phone is the blowpipe. Hold it pointing away from you. The pipe runs up the screen into the furnace at the top.
• Left thumb (bottom of the screen): rub left and right to turn the pipe; push up to put the glass into the fire; pull down to bring it back to the bench. Keep it turning — glass left still sags.
• Blow: hold the round “Blow” word at the bottom right. Thin walls cool fast: reheat when the glass goes dull.
• Tools hang on the right: jacks (press in beside the glass to cut a neck; inside the mouth, on the punty, to open it), wet paper (hold it against one side to steady the piece), colour chips (roll the turning glass in them), thread (a cane of coloured glass drawn along the turning piece), hook (drawn through colour to feather it) and pincers (hold the tip while the pipe turns to twist the pattern, or draw it out). Anything brought to the far end from beyond it is the paddle, which flattens a foot.
• Lean (the tube on the left): push the bead forward to let the piece hang longer, pull it back to shorten it.
• Punty: once a neck is cut, tap “Punty” to transfer the piece to a second rod, mouth first; heat the lip, open it with the jacks and spin it wide.
• Knock off: tap “Knock off” twice. The piece cools and is placed on your shelf, with a name and a few words about it.
• Lessons teach the first breath, colour and a flat foot, the punty, and thread, feather and twist; the practice bench gives you a bubble that never cools. Copy shows a classic form behind your glass; Shelf keeps what you made — tap a piece to take it in hand, drag to turn it, pinch to look closer.

Questions

My glass cracked.

Glass that has gone dark is too cold to work and will crack if it is pushed or cooled further. Push it back into the fire as soon as it goes dull, and keep it turning there. A cracked piece can still be knocked off and kept, but it must not go back into the fire.

The chips will not stick.

Colour only takes on glass that is still glowing. Reheat, then roll the turning glass in the dish. If the pipe is not turning, chips land on one side only.

How do I remove a piece I don’t like?

Take it in hand on the shelf and tap “Discard” in the top-right corner, then tap again to confirm. This cannot be undone.

How do I keep my pieces on a new phone?

Pieces are saved only on your device. They move to a new phone with an iCloud or computer backup of the old one.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone XS / XR or newer, on iOS 15 or later.

Can I change the language?

Yes: “English / 中文” in the top-right corner of the menu. By default the game follows your device’s language.

Where are the privacy policy and the licences?

“About”, in the top-left corner of the menu.
