About the game

Hold the loose end and drag. Go slow and follow the grain and you'll get a long, clean strip, but yank it too fast or pull sideways and it shreds. Once the goal turns green you can let go to bank it, or flick sideways to snap it off clean.

There's a 30-level campaign split into five chapters, from First Blood to Shoulder or Bust. Some levels want you to make it to your wrist or your elbow or all the way to your shoulder, some want you to trace a design, and some just want you to rack up as much pain as you can. Starting in chapter three things get mean - brittle skin that tears if you look at it wrong, a hand that won't hold still, and a clock.

Free Peel lets you pick your hand, your skin and a design to follow: Straight Shot, Sine Wave, Zigzag, Lightning Bolt, Staircase, Corkscrew, Heart Attack, Star Power or Death Spiral. More designs unlock as you play the campaign, plus a couple of skins you probably weren't expecting.

There's also a Daily peel. It's the same one for everybody that day, and Today's Judge decides what counts:

  • Clean wants a long strip and a gentle hand, and takes points off for pain.
  • Artist only cares about length and accuracy. Pain is free.
  • Havoc only cares about pain.

Keep a steady pace and your clean pulls build a Flow Chain. Every verdict, yelp and pain word you earn goes into the Havoc Ledger - there are 51 of them.
