PaperTension Ribbon course

Casual · Free · iPhone & iPad

Hold the paper.Don’t tear it.

PaperTension unrolls a delicate ribbon through narrow pathways. There is no steering stick. Hold to raise tension and cut a sharp corner. Release so the sheet slackens and glides through a wider bend. Too tight, and the paper snaps. Too loose, and it drifts off the course.

One tension control Hold for tight turns Release for wide curves Age 4+ English
Slack

Let go and the ribbon loosens. A wide curve stays smooth. Too much slack and the strip wanders off the path.

Hold

Press to pull the sheet tighter. The turn sharpens because the angle comes from tension, not from a second control.

Tear

Over-stretch for a fraction of a second and the paper snaps. The course ends the moment the ribbon fails.

A single pull decides the whole line.

The strip keeps moving forward. Your job is the balance between pull and slack, read one corner ahead so a tight gap does not arrive while the sheet is already stressed.

  1. Unroll

    Watch the path arrive

    A continuous paper strip feeds into narrow passages. Obstacles are already set. You do not draw a new route.

  2. Hold

    Tighten for a sharp bend

    Hold to increase tension. The ribbon commits to a tighter turn. Release late and the stress climbs toward a tear.

  3. Release

    Slacken for a wider glide

    Let go at the moment a broad curve needs room. The sheet relaxes, keeps direction, and stops fighting the corner.

  4. Read

    Anticipate the next pinch

    Later courses leave less time between bends. A clean run is a sequence of holds and releases, not a faster finger.

The control

Trajectory is the tension.

There is no separate steering input. How hard you pull the paper sets both the angle and the path. Managing that pull is the entire skill: enough grip to make the corner, enough give to keep the sheet whole.

The courses

Gaps get meaner.

Early bends forgive a late release. Later pathways ask you to see the pinch before the ribbon is already stretched.
