Browser game without an APK
Fold Gauge runs directly in the browser. This guide provides no verified AK7X APK, package identifier, publisher signature, release number or official app-store link. Search words such as APK and download do not establish an application’s existence or publisher.
No unknown-source permission, protection bypass, installation, uninstallation or device access is needed to play this demo. Matching a logo or version number does not verify an unknown file. This game’s calculations cannot validate external software.
Search name and separate browser demo
AK7X is a search name here, without a confirmed commercial identity. This independent guide hosts its own original game, Fold Gauge. It confirms no external operator, affiliation, official domain, licence, payment service or app. A similar name is not evidence of a shared publisher.

Local storage and page requests
The game does not require a customer account, identity document or bank information. Local storage explains the balance and fractional carry, but does not imply that every request made while loading the page stays on the device.
Font, analytics, hosting and CDN requests may transmit technical information such as IP address and request details. This guide promises no complete anonymity, precise retention period, absence of profiling or third-party data-sale policy. Those questions require the providers’ own information.
An interrupted ball is not recovered
The active ball is not stored for recovery. Reloading or leaving the page does not resume its path or refund the already deducted stake. Only the settled balance and fractional carry can persist in this browser.
Deleting local website data can remove that balance and fraction. Clearing cached files alone is a different operation from clearing local site storage. The balance is not a customer account synchronized between devices or browsers.
Six paired displacement differences
One ball follows twelve independent fair left or right bounces. A right bounce adds +1 and a left bounce −1. Let xᵢ be displacement after i bounces, with x₀=0. The raw score is the sum for i=1..6 of |xᵢ − (x₁₂ − x₁₂₋ᵢ)|. Each term compares the first i bounces with the last i bounces.
This is not the distance from the final slot, a path reversal count, or a sum of all intermediate distances from zero. The six terms settle only after the twelfth bounce, when the endpoint is known. Only the observed path is drawn during animation; the six gap boxes remain undisclosed until settlement.
Frequently asked questions
How are the six gaps calculated?
One ball follows twelve independent fair left or right bounces. A right bounce adds +1 and a left bounce −1. Let xᵢ be displacement after i bounces, with x₀=0. The raw score is the sum for i=1..6 of |xᵢ − (x₁₂ − x₁₂₋ᵢ)|. Each term compares the first i bounces with the last i bounces. This is not the distance from the final slot, a path reversal count, or a sum of all intermediate distances from zero. The six terms settle only after the twelfth bounce, when the endpoint is known. Only the observed path is drawn during animation; the six gap boxes remain undisclosed until settlement.
What does 96% expected return mean?
Before a drop, choose power 1, 2 or 3. For raw score S, the gross multiplier is 0.96 × Sᵖ/Mₚ. The exact means over all 4,096 paths are M₁=11.73046875, M₂=192 and M₃=3897.609375. The exponent applies to S, not to the factor 0.96. A zero score returns zero in every power. Each power has 96% expected gross return relative to its captured stake in this model. This is a mathematical expectation, not a win probability or session guarantee. The power changes the payout distribution, not the left/right chances or the six-gap definition. Gross return includes the stake.
When can the balance be restored?
The initial balance is 1,000 free virtual coins without monetary value or prize entitlement. The settled balance and fractional payout carry are kept in local browser storage when available. A fraction is carried into later settlements rather than discarded on each payout. Restore balance is available only while idle and below the minimum stake of 10. It sets the balance to 1,000, rather than adding 1,000, and preserves the fraction. It is a manual button, not an automatic reset or a refund for an interrupted round.
Is there Auto or cashout?
While idle, choose 10, 20, 50 or 100 virtual coins and a reward power. Drop ball captures those settings and deducts one stake. The stake and power controls stay locked until settlement. The twelve-direction path is drawn once; animation reveals it in order and does not resample. There is one active ball and no Auto queue, Stop or cashout. Sound is optional. The browser’s reduced-motion preference shortens animation. A new drop clears the previous score, multiplier and gap boxes before showing the new path.
