A falling-block roguelite built for the fold: the well above the hinge, your hands below
Does Load Bearing work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, from launch day, and seen in the iPhone Duo simulator: half open, the well and your deck stay above the hinge and the controls drop below it.
- Simulator verifiedDSST LLC, the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 24, 2026, with a one-take recording from the iPhone Duo simulator on YouTube, also on the game's website with captures of the half-open layouts. The App Store seller is DSST LLC. Load Bearing came out on October 23, 2026, and its App Store description has a section on iPhone Duo.

About Load Bearing
Load Bearing is a falling-block roguelite from DSST LLC. You’re building a city one floor at a time: leave one column empty, bank rows beside it, then fire the Collapse to bring them all down at once. Between floors you add pieces to your deck, buy items in the supply yard and pick up relics. There are four ways to play, a career, a daily site, Overtime and contracts, and you can challenge a friend by code. It costs $5, paid once, with no ads.
It was built around the half-open Duo. Folded like a small laptop, the screen splits at the hinge: the well, the city and your deck stand on the top half, and the touch pad, menus and yard sit on the bottom, where your thumbs are. Laid flat it’s one full screen, and closed, the same run carries on on the cover.

· Simulator recording reviewed
Simulator verified · iphone-duo
Watched the first 12 seconds of the YouTube recording, which the website calls one take in the iPhone Duo simulator, and checked the site's three captures in the open display's upright proportions. Half open: the stash, well and incoming pieces above the hinge, with the direction pad, Slam, Turn, Stash and Collapse below; the city above the run menu; the deck above the supply yard.
Poses shown: Book. These are observations of the evidence, not a test of every interaction.
App version: Not recorded in this evidence. Environment: iPhone Duo simulator.
Only the half-open layout was seen: the part of the recording that loaded didn't reach the open and closed layouts, and the game hides the status bar, so the captures carry no status ring. No version given; no build was tested.
