FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FOLD & SQUISH BRINGS THE SCHOOL BUTTERFLY PAINTING TO IPHONE, IPAD AND IPHONE DUO

On iPhone Duo the phone is the paper: close it to fold the painting, rub the outside screen to
squish it, and open it to see the print.

London, 22 October 2026 — Fountain Interactive today released Fold & Squish, a painting toy for
iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo. Paint on one half of the page, fold it shut, give it a squish and peel
it open: the paint has squished into a mirror print, and no two come out the same.

The paint is a real-time simulation. It is thick and wet, spreads when you press on it, mixes where
colors touch and leaves fine paper veins as the page peels apart. It comes from Dan Fountain, the
game designer and technical artist behind the fluid ink in State of Play's INKS., which won a 2016
Apple Design Award.

On the new iPhone Duo, folding is physical. Close the phone and the painting folds shut with it; rub
the outside screen to squish the paint; open the phone again to find the print. On other iPhones and
on iPad, a Fold button does the same job, and on iPad Apple Pencil paints while fingers smudge.

Fold & Squish is made for children and grown-ups alike. It has no ads, accounts or tracking, and
collects no data. Buying and sharing sit behind a grown-ups check.

AVAILABILITY
Fold & Squish is available now on the App Store as a free download
(https://apps.apple.com/app/id6822789179). The free version has every tool and keeps six paintings;
the optional Sparkle Pack is a one-time purchase that adds gold glitter, star glitter, rainbow
paint, every pencil guide and room for as many paintings as you like.
