Wildpress
A flower pressing game
Close the phone. Press the flowers.
Lay real flowers on the page, shut your phone like a book, and open it on a flat, pressed sheet for your herbarium.
The ten seconds
How a pressing works
Lay it out
An order card asks for something, like a spring card with three violets. Drag petals, leaves and stems from the tray onto the paper, turn them and nudge them into place.
Close the press
On iPhone Duo, folding the phone shut is the press. The outside screen becomes a wooden flower press, its brass wing nuts turned down, with a short countdown, and you feel it squeeze as the halves meet.
Open it
Unfold the phone and the sheet is flat and a little faded, the way pressed flowers are. It is scored for coverage, balance and colour against the order, then kept in your herbarium.
For iPhone Duo
A game for iPhone Duo
The best iPhone Duo games use the fold itself as the control, and that is all Wildpress asks of you: the hinge is the press. The inner display holds the order and the paper side by side, the outer display keeps the countdown while the phone is shut, and the hinge angle sets how hard it squeezes.
For every iPhone
Works on any iPhone
No foldable needed. On every other iPhone a Press button stands in for closing the phone, with the same countdown, the same squeeze in your hand and the same finished sheet.
Pressing, without the wait
What pressed flowers look like, in seconds
Real pressing takes weeks
Pressing flowers by hand means blotting paper, a heavy book or a wooden press, and two to four weeks of waiting. Wildpress keeps the craft and skips the wait.
Real flowers
Eight specimens from real photographs: violet, buttercup, forget-me-not, daisy, poppy, fern, ivy and stem. Pressing flattens, fades and warms them like the real thing. Picture credits.
It still takes an eye
Covering too little or too much costs points, and so do a heavy corner and a flower the order did not ask for. Getting an Exhibition grade takes care.
Your herbarium
Every sheet, numbered and kept
Twelve orders
From a single violet for a locket to a full sheet for the collection. Three done opens a free sheet of your own.
Ink labels
Each sheet gets a number, the date, the Latin names and its grade, written like a herbarium label.
Cards and wallpapers
Share a sheet as a card or set it as your wallpaper. Images are made on your phone and saved where you choose.
