Sushi Slice
A sushi roll glides past on a board; drag a knife to slice it into exactly the target number of pieces before it leaves the screen.
Roll moves left to right at increasing speed; player draws one or more vertical cut lines to land the final piece count inside a target range.
Drag finger vertically to draw a cut line; release to slice.
