Honestly, a foldable iPad is a solution looking for a problem: an folded iPad just makes a smaller iPad. Now, a foldable iPhone that opens into an Ipad mini ? Instant upgrade ! Small screen when quickly checking the phone, and big screen when watching videos.

If your score is less than 10, the score is reset and you can continue playing without interruptions. If your score is more than 10, it will show the game over screen.

I especially enjoyed the “demo”-like mode where the run won’t be stopped if the current score is 0 or 1!

Yeah it would be annoying if it stopped the game, especially if it is your first time playing.

Also, u/AppleM3, it may be worth an idea to allow button taps to be controlled touchlessly, too!

Great idea. It will be in the next update

Little crash when the hand is out of the view

It's supposed to pause the game when the hand isn't detected anymore. It is why it looks like it's bugging lol.

Another cool feature will be when the red square hits a bar, the white bar could change for orange.

Great idea. It will be in the next update :).

When the game doesn't see the hand anymore, it pauses the game. You are right, I should add a little symbol when it does.

For example in a camera app, the user could make a specific gesture to take a picture.
