## What is Polychoron Explorer?

Introducing Magic Manycell - a puzzle game inspired by Magic Cube but in 4D. 
Rotate 4D slices of a Tesseract or 16-Cell to match colors. Comprehend and feel 4D space by watching 4D objects projected into 3D by brand new 4D projection-based rendering engine.

Magic Manycell puzzle can be played on 3 different 4D figures -- Tesseract with its Cells divided into 8 cubes 2*2*2, tesseract with cells divided into 3*3*3=27 smaller cubes each, and a 16-cell, which is a regular polychoron with 16 tetrahedral cells, where you have to match colors in 4 cells aligned together.

If Magic Manycell puzzle seems too hard at first, you can adjust difficulty by selecting amount of moves (called shuffles) that game creates from the state with all colors perfectly aligned. So as you master elementary 1, 2 and 3 shuffles, you can move on to more challenging puzzles.

In addition to starting with less shuffles, with Tesseract based figures players can select to utilize rotations that affects less cells that actual rotation would which makes this puzzle playable to even most casual players (this is the default mode - for only "realistic" rotations select "IRON AN" mode).

In addition to Magic Manycell, this game contains Explorer mode without game goal where you can take your time to explore all 6 regular 4D polytopes (called polychorons). You can also customize how polychoron looks by selecting colors for each Cell of it. 

In Premium version, you can even create your own polychorons by scanning and splitting existing ones into 2 parts. 

Even though right now there're only 2 modes, more fun games on the same engine are planned to be added in the future into this same app.

Game uses Freemium model where free (Demo) functionality is limited. Full functionality is unlockable with one-time purchases, only one for each mode. Demo mode is indicated by watermark so you know that there are some limitations to be expected.

However in each mode there is a fully unlocked free functionality - for Magic Manycell, this is 2*2*2 tesseract board, for Explorer it's the 5-cell and Tesseract.
