Approach

Coming soon to iOS

You are the calm hand above a small, beautiful airspace. Draw flight paths with your finger, stack aircraft at different altitudes so they pass safely over one another, and land everything.

It starts near-silent and nearly empty. The first ninety seconds feel like a screensaver, and pressure arrives so gradually you can’t name the moment it started. Every session leaves behind a glowing lattice of every path you ever drew.

  • Ambient, session-based strategy
  • Draw-a-path controls, built for one thumb
  • No ads. No subscription. No pressure.
  • Native on iPhone & iPad

The studio

Hawaiian Shirt Studios is a tiny independent shop. We build a small number of games and try to make each one calm, tactile, and worth returning to. No roadmaps we can’t keep, no dark patterns, just careful work and an ocean breeze.
