A daily drawing game for iPhone
The same squiggle.
Everyone.
Every day.
One wiggly line, the same one for everybody on earth, every single day. Same five colours, same brush, same canvas. The only thing that changes is what you see in it.
Still being built. Coming to iPhone.
The whole idea
One line. Nobody draws the same thing.
Four people, one squiggle, same morning. None of them saw the others first.
These four are ours, not other people's. Wriggled isn't out yet, so there's nobody else's to show you. Give it a minute.
How a day works
Fixed schedule. Random line.
The timing never surprises you. The squiggle always does.
First
The line arrives
At midnight UTC, the same moment everywhere on earth, a new squiggle turns up on your canvas along with the day's five colours. It's the exact same line everybody else just got.
Then
You draw
One brush that goes fat when you draw slowly and thin when you draw fast. An eraser. No zoom, no pan, no layers. Fewer choices, better drawings.
After that
Then the world opens
Hit submit and the gallery opens up. Ghost mode fades the original line over anyone's drawing, so you can see exactly what they did with the bit you both started from.
The rule everything else hangs off
You draw first, or you see nothing.
Everyone else's drawing stays sealed until you submit yours. Not to be precious about it. It's just that the second you see someone else's answer, it stops being your answer.
Nothing to scroll before you start. No most-liked drawing setting the tone for the day. No nagging feeling, when you finally put the pen down, that you were half copying somebody. You get the line cold, same as everyone, and you find out afterwards what the rest of the world saw in it.
What's in it
Small game. Built properly.
Ghost mode
Fade the day's squiggle over anyone's drawing. The fun bit is spotting which strokes they were handed and which ones they chose.
Timelapse replay
Drawings are saved as the actual strokes you made, not a flat picture. So any of them can redraw itself, first mark to last.
Your archive, kept
Everything you've ever drawn stays in your archive, free, forever, whether you pay or not. Your own work never goes behind a wall.
Streaks and wriggle-outs
A streak for turning up. Every seven days in a row earns a wriggle-out, which covers one missed day, and you can hold three. A game that punishes one missed evening isn't a habit, it's a chore.
Widgets
Home and lock screen widgets with the day's squiggle sitting on them, so it's waiting for you instead of nagging you.
One notification. Predictable.
One a day, at a time you can count on. No re-engagement pings, no fake urgency, no random timing designed to catch you out.

What it never buys
The daily is the same for everyone: same squiggle, same five colours, same brush, same canvas. Wriggled+ doesn't change your line, your colours, how visible your drawing is, or how much your heart counts. Influence comes from turning up or from being good, never from paying. And there are no ads, at any scale, ever.
