Bamboo Cicada Online Game

Play the traditional Chinese sound toy online and hear every turn become a call

🎯 How to Play

Faster, tighter turns make the bamboo cicada call louder and brighter. When you let go, it keeps moving with its momentum and gradually slows down.

  • Hold inside the game and draw circles with your mouse or finger. Small, steady circles work especially well on phones.
  • Choose Auto swing, or press Space on a keyboard, to watch the full motion without drawing circles yourself.
  • On a phone, choose Swing phone and allow motion access when asked. Keep a secure grip and move the phone in small, controlled circles.
  • Use the cicada appearance control to choose the visual style you prefer.
