How to play

Tap it for a ripple and a small hop; drag to turn it.

About it

A tin wind-up robot of the kind made in the 1950s, modeled and rendered on a computer and then drawn with splats. A real wind-up toy stores energy in a coiled spring that a key tightens; as the spring unwinds it turns gears that move the legs and arms.

Tap it and a ripple runs over the robot as it hops. Drag to circle it and look at its round dial, its colored buttons, and its raised arm.
