PRESS RELEASE

Blinkky: a mobile game you play by blinking
A hands-free flying game for Android. Face detection runs on the phone,
no camera images ever leave it.

Czech Republic, October 27, 2026 – Independent developer Petr
Shromáždil has released Blinkky on Google Play. Players guide a little owl
through seven worlds, and the only control is a blink: every clear blink is
one flap of the wings. The phone can rest on a table while hands stay free.
The game is free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

How it works
The front camera watches the player's face and eye detection runs entirely
on the device using Google ML Kit. Frames are never uploaded or stored.
Ordinary involuntary blinks are ignored; only deliberate ones count, and a
ten-second calibration tunes the sensitivity to the player's eyes, glasses
included. Players who can't or don't want to use the camera can tap instead.

A rest for the eyes
To keep play comfortable, the owl regularly rides air currents that carry
it on their own, so the player doesn't need to blink at all for a few
seconds. A short Flight School guides newcomers through their first game
with no way to lose.

Features
• Seven worlds: night forest, cave, city, ice peaks, storm, volcano, space.
• A daily challenge with a new rule every day (fog, a wasp nest, moon
  gravity…) and a weekly tournament with three lives and harder laps.
• Duels with friends via a shared link, plus a two-face duel: two players
  in front of one phone, the camera tracks both.
• A wardrobe of 49 owl looks earned only by playing, badges and leagues.
• Accessibility: fully hands-free play, reduced motion, larger HUD.

"I wanted a game that people who can't or don't want to hold a phone could
enjoy. It turned out blinking is a fun control for everyone else too – the
biggest laughs come from two people dueling in front of one phone," says
developer Petr Shromáždil. [Feel free to adjust the quote in your own words.]
