Swipac
Read full descriptionHide full description
Swipe the package to the ramp with the same colour. But be careful, sometimes the swipe direction is reversed or the exit is closed. And the assembly line is running faster and faster. The game is fun and requires skill. In addition, there is a multiplayer mode that allows you to connect your device via Bluetooth with your friends to play Swipac directly against each other.
Shade Out
Read full descriptionHide full description
One tile is a slightly different shade. Find it. That's the whole game ā and it goes deeper than you'd think. The gap shrinks level after level until it's roughly 1 ĪE, the smallest colour difference a human eye can detect at all. Most people tap out somewhere in the low twenties. That's not a failure. That's your retina. A 200-LEVEL JOURNEY Start easy and climb through eight chapters. Each level is a handful of boards, each subtler than the last, and you earn up to three stars for a clean run. Miss a tile and the game shows you the one you should have found ā so every mistake teaches. Two hundred levels, from a gentle warm-up to the very edge of human vision. AND SIX MORE WAYS TO PLAY ⢠Classic ā points for speed. Tap the odd tile in under a second and it's 1000. ⢠Daily ā one board a day, identical for everyone on Earth. Compare and argue. ⢠Sprint ā 60 seconds. Clear as many as you can. A miss costs you four. ⢠Endless ā no safety net. The clock tightens with every level you clear. ⢠Sudden Death ā three lives, no clock. Just your eye, taking its time. ⢠Zen ā no clock, no lives. Pure practice. (Pro) MADE WITH ACTUAL CARE ⢠Difficulty is measured in CIELAB ĪE ā a perceptual unit ā so level 12 is exactly as hard on a deep blue as it is on a pale yellow. Colour games that step raw RGB or HSL values quietly make some hues far harder than others. This one doesn't. ⢠The odd tile always differs in lightness, never hue alone, so it stays playable if you're colour blind. ⢠Every colour is checked to be inside the sRGB gamut before it's shown, so the gap you're hunting is exactly the gap intended ā never a clipped approximation. ⢠Global leaderboards through Game Center. QUIETLY RESPECTFUL ⢠No ads. No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. ⢠Plays fully offline ā leaderboard scores sync whenever you're next online. Your eye is better than you think. Right up until it isn't.
