How it uses iPhone Duo
The version 1.0.3 release notes (October 10, 2026) open with "Built for the new foldable" and list several modes. Shrine Console: stood on a table, the lower half becomes a controller deck with the game above the fold. Grimoire: opened like a book, stage select spreads across two pages. Wide Grove: opened flat for a wider view. Handheld: closed and upright, one-handed play with controls below. The Hearth: a standing menu screen. The developer says the world never reloads when you fold or turn the device, and closing it mid-run pauses the game. We have not yet tested Embertail Fox on an iPhone Duo.

About this app
Embertail Fox is a landscape side-scrolling action game from SixTwelve Studio, published on the App Store under developer Zeeshan Khan. You play an ember-tailed fox spirit moving through a twilight forest across five realms, each with its own stages, modifiers and boss encounters. Along the way you relight shrines, stun corrupted creatures with fire bolts and devour stunned foes to heal, while some arenas lock until every enemy is cleared. Moves include jumping, dashing through enemies and a slow-motion Spirit Time ability. Between stages you bank embers earned from clears and spend them in a forge on lasting fox abilities. The game is designed to be forgiving in places: checkpoints save your progress, falling into a pit sends you back to a lantern rather than costing health, and only enemies take hearts. It costs $4.99 up front, with no subscription, no in-app purchases, no account and, according to the developer, no analytics or tracking SDKs; save data stays on the device. It requires iOS 17 or later and plays in landscape. It suits players who want a compact, premium action platformer without ongoing payments. Its October 2026 update was made specifically for iPhone Duo and adds several layouts for different fold positions.
