Origami

Rhythm Game × Origami

Fold to the beat. Origami brings a familiar part of Japanese culture into a one-button rhythm game. Follow the music, time each fold, and watch a three-dimensional paper model take shape.

Your timing affects your score and the finished folds. Replay a stage to improve your rhythm and refine the result.
