## What is GLAZE BYTE?

A CITY OF GLASS. A VOICE YOU CAN’T QUITE TRUST.

Rotate 2×2 groups of glass cookies, match colours and turn one clever move into a spectacular chain reaction. Beneath the puzzle lies a city to explore—and someone asking for your help.

ENTER SYSTEM REBOOT
Travel through five distinct districts, from mist-covered streets to the city’s deepest secrets. Each district introduces a new twist on the board and a guardian determined to stop you. Ice spreads. Bombs tick. Glass shatters. Build your score, charge NIK and strike back.

MEET NIK
He says he is an engineer trapped in a research laboratory. He has a terminal, a locked door and a growing list of things that don’t add up. Help him reach cameras and security systems through short, reactive conversations. Your choices lead to two different endings.

ONE MORE RUN
• Time Trial: 120 seconds to build your best score.
• Circuit: keep going as the challenge evolves.
• Rush: faster pressure, bigger chain bonuses.
• Daily Shift: a fresh, date-based challenge.
• Laboratory: experiment at your own pace.

Compare Time Trial, Circuit and Rush records with friends and players worldwide through Game Center. An internet connection and Game Center sign-in are required for online rankings; story play requires no account.

MADE TO FEEL GOOD
Translucent glass cookies, cinematic city travel, expressive character animation, responsive haptics and animated combos. Choose English, Russian or Spanish and tune the visual, sound and motion settings to suit you.

FREE TO START. YOURS TO UNLOCK.
Chapter 1 and Time Trial are free. In the free version, an ad is required after every five minutes of active gameplay to continue, and a rewarded ad is required for a story continue after defeat. Watch a rewarded ad to unlock one Daily Shift attempt. Ads require an internet connection and availability.

The one-time Full Game purchase unlocks all five story chapters and every arcade mode, with no ads. No subscription. Restore previous purchases from the Full Game screen.

Your next move changes more than the board.
