Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 2369.7 Hz, 915 cents sharp of F6, 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.

About it

Stones of our own shapes fall down a well between stone walls, ten wide and twenty deep. Move each one across and turn it as it falls (tap it, press ⟳ Turn, ↑ or X); when a whole row is full, it crumbles into rubble that falls away, and every stone above drops into its place. The more rows at once, the more points; every four rows the stones fall faster.

The 3D button turns the well so its depth shows. Pick the well with the buttons at the top: Classic, or a 3D well (deep or wide), a real square box you look down into, with stones that only work in 3D (a tripod, two screws, a plus) and room to put one behind or in front of another. There, ⟳ Turn, ⤾ Tip and ⤿ Roll turn the stone three ways, an outline shows where it will land, and two fingers look round the well. P pauses, R starts again.
