The orb wants out. Keep it in. An orb of living light is trapped beneath the stone. If it escapes, it's lights out for everyone. You've been put in charge of the lid. Tap to stop each spinning stone over its matching hole. Line it up and it drops in. Fast, precise stops score more. As you climb, the holes start moving and the clock starts running. Miss too often and the orb wins. Climb 50 rounds through five families of shapes, then keep going in endless play. Try the daily seal: one shared challenge, renewed each day. Collect the glyphs you seal and beat your best score. FREE TO PLAY Play dawn and gilt, the first 20 rounds, and the daily seal for free, as often as you like. One purchase unlocks the full game: ember, molten, corona, TOTALITY and endless play, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. If you downloaded STOPGAP before version 1.0.1, the full game is already yours. Play offline. Game Center leaderboards are optional. No ads, ever. Music, effects, and haptics have separate settings.
