The ultimate color illusion game! How well do you actually see color? Are the two color bars the Same or are they Different? To play, just choose "same" or "different". "Color is relative," said Albers. The answer is fun, quick, simple and astounding! Break your own personal record, compare to your friends on Facebook (only if you want to). SameSameOrDifferent asks you the question: "Are the Swatches the Same Color or Different?" You'll be stunned as after image and the relativity of color make it nearly impossible to tell what a color is when it's on a strong background. This little game takes the sweeping fascination in color perception and applies the art composition made classic by famous artist Josef Albers.

About

Induction

Read full description

Somewhere inside the box, lodestones are hiding. You can't see them. You can only fire probes into the machine and watch what comes out. A beam that flies straight through? Nothing in its path. A beam that never comes out? A direct hit. A beam that exits somewhere unexpected? Now you're getting somewhere. Every deflection is a clue! Induction is a pure logic deduction game in the tradition of the classic Black Box puzzle: a hidden grid, a limited set of probes, and everything solvable by reasoning alone. No luck, no timers, no move-matching. If you love Minesweeper, nonograms, or picross-style deduction, this is that same "aha!" — with beams. HOW IT PLAYS • Fire probes into the edges of a hidden grid • Read the results: hits, deflections, reflections, pass-throughs • Mark your deductions in the grid until you're certain • Seal your answer. Clean solves and streaks are tracked. WHAT'S INSIDE • Over 1,000 hand-tuned puzzles across notebook collections, from gentle on-ramp to expert codex • A new Daily Challenge every day. The same puzzle for everyone, and streaks to keep • A tutorial that teaches by demonstration, not walls of text • Beautiful vintage-laboratory notebook style PLAYS ANYWHERE • Fully playable offline (commutes, flights, dead zones) • No account required. Sign in with Google or Apple only if you want your progress backed up or synced across devices • Progress backup and cloud sync when signed in FAIR & FOCUSED • Free, supported by ads; rewarded ads are always your choice • No pay-to-win, no energy systems, no consumable nonsense • Your brain is the only power-up From Connexus Digital, the makers of Connexus Puzzles. Charge the coils. Fire the probe. Find what's hiding.
