Twist & Merge: 3D Number Cube
Version 1.1.0, recorded on the iPad simulator in a single continuous take, with the game's own sound. The turns are made by a scripted player that picks the twist with the most merges and drags the layer through the same touch handling a finger goes through, so the merge highlight lights up mid-turn exactly as it does for a person. The boosts, the shuffle and the world changes go through the game's own buttons. Nothing is cut and nothing is sped up. The closing six seconds replay one merge at one-third speed, labelled on screen.
2:02 — five worlds, four boosts. The board is a 3×3×3 cube: a move is a twist of a layer, and equal numbers collapse at the seam between the layer that moved and the one that didn't. Along the way the player doubles a cube with ×2, swaps two neighbours, erases a stray number and shuffles the board, and changes worlds from the skins window, so the art, the music and the click of the turn all change without the recording stopping.
The full session — all eight worlds
3:00 — the same recording, uncut. The base cube, paper, wood, Egypt, beach, metal, ivory and ice, one after another, each with its own music and its own rotation and merge tones.
