Soda Simulator

Pour a cold one, then tip your phone like a real glass and drink it.

Soda Simulator turns your screen into a glass of fizzy soda. Bubbles rise from the bottom, foam settles on top, and the soda only moves when you make it move. Tilt the phone and it pours over the rim. Hold a finger on the screen and you sip it instead. Lean too far and it goes everywhere, which the app will happily hold against you.

REAL LIQUID, NOT AN ANIMATION Most drink apps just play you a video. This one actually simulates the soda. The surface stays level while the glass goes over, so how much you can still hold depends on how far you have leaned. The pour runs faster when there is more soda standing above the lip. Get greedy and you will wear it.

TEN FLAVOURS, EACH WITH ITS OWN FIZZ Classic Cola, Cherry Cola, Orange Blast, Lemon Lime, Root Beer, Grape Soda, Cream Soda, Blue Raspberry, Ginger Ale and Voltage. Carbonation is a real setting behind every one of them, so a Ginger Ale crackles harder, throws more bubbles and builds a thicker head than a Cream Soda does. You can hear the difference.

DRINK IT OR WEAR IT Every glass is scored on how fast it went down. Work your way up from Polite sipper through Steady drinker, Genuinely thirsty and Certified chugger to Inhaled it. Spill more than you drink and you get Wasted it, which you will have earned.

KEEP YOUR RECORD The app remembers every glass you finish: how many sodas, how much in total, your fastest ml per second, and the flavour you keep going back to. Your recent pours are right there on the home screen.

JUST THE GLASS Tap the full screen button and every last bit of text disappears, leaving nothing but the soda. Hand the phone over and watch someone take a second look.

SOUND MADE FROM SCRATCH The crack of the can, the pour, the fizz, the gulps and the burp at the bottom are all generated by the app rather than played from recordings. The fizz tracks the carbonation of whatever you picked. One tap turns the lot off if you would rather drink quietly.

EVERYTHING UNLOCKED FROM THE START No sign in, no unlocks, no waiting, nothing to buy. Every flavour is there from the first launch. It works offline, and nothing about you leaves your phone.

Non alcoholic throughout, so it is safe to hand to anyone.

Needs a phone with an accelerometer, because tilting is how you drink.
