All featured toys include carefully designed control surfaces:
Featured toys ship with starter presets that bundle optimal settings for first-time users. Look for the preset button in the toy’s control panel.Example presets:
  • Aurora Painter: “aurora starter” - Balanced glow and speed tuned for first look delight
  • Bioluminescent Tidepools: “guided glow starter” - Higher glow with balanced trail and current speed
  • Neon Wave: “soft glow starter” - Reduced bloom intensity for a gentler first look
  • Spiral Burst: “beat pop starter” - Higher beat sensitivity with punchy pulse bursts
Each featured toy highlights a “wow control”—the single control that delivers the most immediate, delightful change.Example wow controls:
  • Aurora Painter: Quick preset · Starter
  • Bioluminescent Tidepools: Glow strength
  • Spiral Burst: Beat sensitivity
  • Bubble Harmonics: Split sensitivity
Many featured toys support pinch/rotate gestures and arrow-key mood switching for dynamic, hands-on control:
  • Pinch: Scale or zoom visual elements
  • Rotate: Twist or spin visual elements
  • Arrow keys: Cycle through preset moods or visual modes
Most featured toys recommend demo audio as the default capability for first-time users. This ensures a consistent experience without microphone permission friction.
