01
Look
Compare your frame with the target. Notice which details are visible, covered or facing the wrong way.
A little world in paper
Layerlings
Slide, turn and reorder layers of cut paper. Find the arrangement that reveals the picture, one hidden detail at a time.
Available now for iPhone and iPad
The puzzle
A cutout changes what you see.
Each paper hides parts of the layers behind it. An opening that reveals the fox may cover another detail somewhere else. Match the complete target picture by finding the right position, orientation and stack order.
02
Arrange
Touch a paper and drag it directly across the artwork, or select a layer and use the position controls. No long press is needed. Turn it or move it forward and back in the stack when the page allows.
03
Reveal
Bring every visible detail into place. Undo, reset and hints are available without spending lives or racing a clock.

Where can I download Layerlings?
Layerlings is available on the App Store for iPhone and iPad: download Layerlings.
What is free, and what does the purchase open?
The first 12 pages are free. One optional, non-consumable complete-book purchase opens access to the remaining 60 puzzles in five worlds. Choose any unlocked world and progress through its 12 pages in order, at your own pace. The price is shown by Apple before you confirm a purchase. There is no subscription, virtual currency or paid hint.
How do I restore the complete book?
Open Settings in Layerlings and choose Restore Purchases while connected to the internet. Use the Apple Account that made the purchase. Restoring the purchase opens its content; it does not transfer puzzle progress from another device. If Apple cannot find or verify an entitlement, contact support with the app's message. Do not email payment details or your Apple Account password.
Can I play without the internet?
Yes. The puzzles and artwork are bundled with the app, and gameplay works offline. Loading the current price, buying the complete book and restoring a purchase require Apple's App Store services. A previously verified unlock is cached locally so it remains available offline.
Where is my progress saved?
Completed pages, current arrangements, undo history, best move counts and preferences are saved on your device. Layerlings has no Hishi account or built-in cloud synchronization. Apple backups may include local app data according to your settings. Deleting the app can remove your progress, so contact support before reinstalling to troubleshoot.
I'm stuck on a page. What should I try?
Start with a clear landmark in the target picture. Check which paper is selected and whether it belongs nearer to you or behind another. The arrow controls provide an alternative to dragging. Undo and Reset are free. Hint suggests one legal move and does not make it for you.
Can I turn off sound, music, haptics or motion?
Settings contains separate sound and music choices, optional haptics and Calm Motion. System Reduce Motion is also respected. The puzzle state and available controls remain visible when these effects are off.
Does Layerlings track me or show ads?
The app has no ads, analytics SDK, tracking, account or Hishi gameplay server. It uses Apple StoreKit for the optional complete-book purchase. Apple handles its own account, purchase and store information. Read the Layerlings privacy policy for the distinction.
