Chord Cut

A meditation on fruit

$2.99 · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Chord Cut is a zen fruit-slicing game where your blade is a musical instrument: each cut composes a unique soundtrack set to your own slicing tempo. Slice through dyads, triads, and flourishes to build your streak. Avoid the rocks. Drift through levels from Still Water to Night Jasmine as the harmony deepens and the orchard changes around you. Everything is procedural: every fruit, every drop of juice, every light and every note is generated live on your device. Nothing is pre-rendered or downloaded. • The cut is the note — slicing paints onto a generative music system • A living piano, rendered on your device, never sampled • Procedural fruit and fluid simulation, unique every session • No ads, no tracking, no network — the whole game lives on your phone Best experienced with headphones.

See your progress at a glance with the new progress bar. Striking a stone no longer wipes your score. Each level you reach banks what you've earned, so a stone only takes what came after it. Pineapples rebuilt from the skin up: real crowns, a proper cut face, and swipes through the crown now count. Big combos sound fuller, and flourishes sweep the whole keyboard instead of piling up at the top. Smaller fixes throughout.
