The unique folding design of foldables also presents an opportunity to interact with games in a new way. On that end, we\u2019re starting to see developers find ways to incorporate a folding phone\u2019s hinge into the gameplay, like the viral <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/rebane2001\/status\/2007198231479103611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Foldy Bird game<\/a>. Now, another game has emerged with a rather clever idea.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_rm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_738_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_jg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_238_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Over on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Android\/comments\/1qchwq5\/i_made_an_origami_simulator_that_is_driven_by_a\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Reddit<\/a>, a user who goes by maxwase shared a new game they created that takes advantage of a foldable phone\u2019s folding ability. The game is called \u201cKami\u201d and it\u2019s an origami simulator. On the screen is a flat sheet of paper that you can move and rotate in any way you want. To fold the paper, you\u2019ll need to line up the piece of paper along the line in the middle of the screen and physically fold your phone. The simulator is also able to detect which way you\u2019re folding.<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a folding phone, you can still give Kami a try. The game is <a href=\"https:\/\/maxwase.github.io\/kami\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">available online<\/a> for free, if you\u2019re interested in giving it a shot. On top of that, the creator says that the project is <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/maxwase\/kami\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">open source<\/a>, so you can modify it as you please.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fun to see developers take advantage of the hinge in this way. However, be prepared to speed up the wear and tear on your folding screen.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
