Rules

You play with 5 stones. Toss one stone up, pick up stones from the floor while it's in the air, then catch it.
Stage 1: pick up one at a time, four times. Stage 2: two at a time, twice. Stage 3: three then one (or one then three). Stage 4: set four stones down during a toss, then toss again and scoop all four at once.
Kkeokgi (finale): toss all five, catch them on the back of your hand, toss them again and catch with your palm. Each stone caught scores points (called "years" in Korean). After the finale you start again from Stage 1.
Missing the catch, picking up too few or too many is a fail. Against AI the turn passes, and next turn you restart the stage you failed.
Against AI, the first to the chosen goal (10, 20 or 30 pts) wins. In solo mode, your score is what you earn before your first fail.
Since this is a tap game, "touching another stone" is not judged.

How to play

Tap the hand (or the Toss button, or Space) to toss.
While the stone is in the air, tap floor stones to pick them up. On the first toss of Stage 4, tap anywhere on the mat to set four stones down.
Tap the hand when the shrinking ring reaches its edge to catch. In the finale, better timing catches more stones.
