Paper drifts.
The guide turns.
Find your moment.
What it is
A moving guide. A drifting paper shape. A moment when they line up.
Higiri is a Japanese-inspired precision game built around choosing when to cut. Tap to slice along the guide, catch several shapes in a single strike, and clear the paper before the challenge runs out of time or cuts.
Between campaign challenges, step onto the dojo floor. Practice through waves of origami, choose techniques for the run, and earn ornaments for your own garden. Place those rewards among the paths and pond to bring new powers into the campaign.
