How much can your BRAIN handle? Not Not puzzle game is the ultimate brain-busting challenge based on logic and orientation. Follow the written instructions to swipe your character towards the correct direction (up, down, left or right) and victory. As you reach higher levels in the game, increasingly complex and varied instructions will require use of both your logic and dexterity for you to succeed. And sorry (not really) for any mental inconvenience this may cause :) Two game modes are available: - in the classic mode, discover a new concept on each level! - in the challenge mode, go as far as possible following more and more complex instructions! ***** "Amazing game!" "NotNot is a fun, challenging, and hilarious game. This will cheat your brain many times, so when you finally finish a level, it's super satisfying. It consists of short levels (sometimes) and its very addicting." _by HKapples_ ***** "This game is epic" "This game is epic. The graphics are great, the game is enjoyable and it a brilliant game. It is quite challenging but is still realy fun. You just got to have good reactions." ---------------- _by a notnot reviewer_ ***** "Creative new mind bending game!" "Give it a try, something different." ---------------- _by JTonzo_

Brain Code is a command-line-inspired puzzle game. Read a level, type a command, and use the response to work out what to try next. It’s a game about clues and logic, not a coding lesson. Explore 50 handcrafted levels. Some clues ask you to think beyond the obvious answer. No programming experience is needed: curiosity and careful observation are enough to begin. If you get stuck, optional in-game hints can give you a nudge. You can also leave a puzzle and return to it later. The levels can be played offline. Ready to try a different way of thinking? Start with the first level and see where your next command takes you. Questions or a bug to report? contact.kkapps@gmail.com Reading the description again? The last two lines may help.
