Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 412.6 Hz, 89 cents sharp of G4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

How to play
Tap it to toss it: it twirls round once and lands; drag to turn it.
About it
A real heart-shaped donut with a white glaze, captured from 411 photos on a turntable and drawn with about a quarter of a million soft splats. A donut is a ring or heart of dough fried in oil, so its crust browns and its crumb puffs.
Tap it and it is tossed up, twirls round once in the air and lands. Drag to turn it and see the glossy glaze, the golden fried sides and the pale ring where the dough rose in the fryer.
