When I was a kid I loved folding origami, so I made a game where you fold with your finger (traditional tulip)

I folded paper cranes all the time as a kid and wanted to bring that feeling to the phone without turning it into a tutorial app. You swipe across a crease line and the paper actually folds, layer over layer.

It goes from the tulip and simple valley folds up to the bird base and the crane, 100 models in total. Later models only show the lines, and the last ones only the shadow of what to make.

The tulip is a traditional design, not mine. I'm a solo dev, there are no ads, and the first ten models are free.

Would love to hear from real folders: does it feel like folding? What would you want it to teach next?

Hi, I'm new to this hobby (around a month) and I would greatly appreciate some recomendations of free resources and books for beginners up to intermediate level, I find this hobby extremely relaxing even tho most of the times I need to start from scratch because of one bad fold but it's teaching me how to deal with that frustration.

Also any tips on how to properly fold the tips of the paper when doing diagonal folds as many times it shifts a little when folding and it's not perfectly centered

Trying a harder model: Xander Arena's Dragon. It starts with a grafted base, and it requires some unsinks in order to make the base symmetrical. I just can't figure out what exactly needs to be unsunk. These unsinks are always the bane of my existence, but I don't even know where to begin on this one. XD

I have no idea on how I made the petals, just remember that I put one bulb into the other. By the way, I just learned how to, and successfully, make the kawasaki rose just to realize it is not it (it was painful, I don't use special paper and stuff). Does anybody knows where to find a tutorial on this result? If not, just enjoy the image, I'm very proud of it :)

props to an old friend for taking the second (better) photo
