Still for 0:00 · Ember
How to play

Three steps. The second one is hard.

  1. Put the phone down

    Lay it on a table and let go. The run starts by itself once the phone is still.

  2. Don't touch it

    An ember appears on a black screen and opens into living color. Touch it or move it and the color ripples away like water.

  3. Keep what you grew

    Every run leaves you a one-of-a-kind gradient. Save it as your wallpaper or share your time.

Five blooms

How far can you get?

One bloom from one seed, at the five moments you reach each stage — drawn by the shader the game runs, not an illustration of it. Times are for the app; on this page everything runs faster, so you can see Eclipse in under a minute.

Put the phone down

A browser can't feel your phone move, so tap the screen to "move" it.

Yours, and only yours

This is the bloom you grew before you scrolled.

The phone is live — the same bloom, the same five stages, the same ripple when you give in and touch it. Every run starts from a new random seed, and the time you last decides how far it unfolds. No two wallpapers are ever the same.

In the app it fills a real screen in true black, the interface fades away after three seconds, and you keep the result in full resolution.
