Origami Fold Reveal
Swipe to draw a single fold crease across the paper; tap to execute the fold; keep folding until the paper matches a target silhouette and a creature pops out.
Swipe draws a fold line; tap commits one fold along that line; folding toward the target silhouette scores and animates the creature.
One-thumb: swipe to sketch a crease line, tap to fold along it.
