This webpage showcases an entirely digital concept for the Origami Snowflake Game. Rick Nordal is a Canadian game designer currently seeking an experienced game programmer or indie/game studio to handle the coding, implementation, and digital launch of this game.

A minimalist, speed folding, tactile digital puzzle game where a player folds a virtual pre-creased 32-triangle digital paper on-screen into different geometric snowflake shapes. Drag, flip, and slide the digital paper with hyper-responsive physics that mimic true paper resistance. Satisfying paper rustles, crisp crease snaps, and a calming ambient soundtrack.
Origami Snowflake Game
Game play: Can you beat the melt? Use your fingers to rapidly fold a 32-triangle digital paper into matching geometric snowflake shapes as they appear on your screen. Speed and strategy are everything—you must complete every snowflake in strict numerical order.
Keep a close eye on Bonnie! If a falling snowflake lands in her mouth and melts before you can finish it, it’s game over. How many can you successfully fold before losing? How many seconds did it take you to fold all the completed snowflakes? Players can play the same game repeatedly again and again to try and fold more snowflakes and get a faster paper folding time, or play a completely new game with a different sequence of snowflakes appearing on the screen.
Below is an image of what the digital Origami Snowflake Game might look like on a iPad device.
When folding a geometric snowflake shape, you may fold the 32-triangle digital paper any direction but you must only use the creases that are on the digital paper.
After folding a snowflake shape, try not to unfold the 32-triangle digital paper to much, so that you can fold the next snowflake shape faster.
Blitz Mode
Game play: Five different geometric snowflakes appear on your screen. How fast can you fold your 32-triangle digital paper into all five shapes? Race against the clock and complete the sequence in strict numerical order! Every second counts—beat your personal best!
The number of ways to fold a geometric snowflake shape depends entirely on its size: smaller snowflakes offer more folding combinations, while larger ones have fewer. When morphing from one design to another without completely unfolding the 32-triangle digital paper, players can discover a vast array of transitional sequences. This mechanics-driven puzzle encourages players to invent unique folding strategies and techniques, offering endless replayability as they continuously work to refine their paper folding methods for both the Origami Snowflake Game and for the Blitz Mode game. A minute to learn, a lifetime to master!
The secret of how to fold a geometric snowflake shape or any sequence of geometric snowflake shapes the quickest way, is in your 32-triangle digital paper waiting to be discovered! On your mark, get set... fold!
Falling snowflakes give the game a different look. Watch how a 32-triangle paper is folded into 8 different geometric snowflake shapes. Watch how 5 different snowflakes are folded.
32-Triangle paper!
Both the Rubik's Cube and the 32-triangle paper used in the Origami Snowflake Game are similar because they test manual dexterity, pattern recognition, and rapid physical execution against a timer. Shared Similarities. Focus on Speed: Players aim to complete the physical challenge in the fastest time possible. Spatial Logic: Both activities require a strong grasp of geometry and spatial transformations. Strict Constraints: A Rubik's Cube limits movements to rotating its slices, while the Origami Snowflake Game requires folding a 32-triangle paper strictly along existing crease lines in a specific numerical order. Key Differences: A Rubik's Cube is a mechanical plastic puzzle, whereas the origami game relies on a single sheet of paper.
PLayers are encouraged to fold a square sheet of paper into 32 triangles. Photocopy paper is ideal, but any paper will work. Keep your 32-triangle paper handy in your pocket and practice folding it into geometric snowflakes for the game. Then, transfer your new folding skills to the 32-triangle digital paper.
The 252 different geometric shapes and their names shown below were invented by Rick Nordal.
