About

Glimpse

Read full description

Six ways to test what you just saw. Glimpse is a minimalist grid puzzle built around three ideas. Glance flashes a set of tiles and asks you to tap them back. Echo shows a sequence and asks for it in order. Pulse spawns cards on timers and asks you to clear them before they run out. Each mode has 150 levels. Each has an Endless variant where the difficulty never stops climbing and your score decays every second you hesitate. WHAT'S INSIDE - Three modes, 150 levels each - Three Endless runs with Game Center leaderboards - Bomb, life and token tiles that change what a round asks of you - Nine colour themes, unlocked with tokens you earn by playing - Daily streak rewards - Eight languages - Portrait, one hand, any screen size NO ADS. EVER. No banners, no interstitials, no rewarded video. Optional token packs exist if you want themes faster. Nothing is locked behind them. All six modes are free to play from the first launch. Sound and haptics are built for the game, not bolted on. Every effect was synthesised from scratch. There is no music you'd recognise and nothing that repeats.
