Along a creek-green channel, a pale wood paddle wheel waits for a circular twist. Leaf boats drift close; align the paddle gap so a boat catches and feeds into the collection sluice. Misses and jammed paddles spend Paddle Balance. Linked catches build a multiplier. Later, speed rises, gaps narrow, and reverse dual wheels may appear—phase reading becomes the craft.
This is the batch’s aiming-on-orbit piece, apart from tilt dishes and lantern lifts: read speed, twist the wheel, catch the phase with pastoral machine poetry. For players who like circular gestures, water-wheel mood, and timing foresight. Portrait wheel centered, sluice band at top or side, balance bar below, help covering twist-and-catch flow.
Twist the paddle wheel; catch leaf boats in the gap.
