TL;DR Someone has created a game that takes advantage of your folding phone’s hinge.
The game is an origami simulator called “Kami.”
The project is free, available online, and it’s open-source, so anyone can use or modify it.
With the extra screen real estate that foldable phones, like the Galaxy Z Fold 7, provide, they make for great mobile gaming devices. The unique folding design of foldables also presents an opportunity to interact with games in a new way. On that end, we’re starting to see developers find ways to incorporate a folding phone’s hinge into the gameplay, like the viral Foldy Bird game. Now, another game has emerged with a rather clever idea.

Over on Reddit, a user who goes by maxwase shared a new game they created that takes advantage of a foldable phone’s folding ability. The game is called “Kami” and it’s 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’ll 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’re folding.
