Read full descriptionHide full description
Pattern forming game which develops creativity and visual construction ability. Pattern-forming exercises are part of the IQ measurement. The goal of the app is to create complex patterns on a board of tiles from the basic tile patterns. Can be used as an educational tool from age 8. Can also be used as a Discovery Toy in cognitive psychological treatments. But most of all, it's fun to play with, and you can let your imagination soar. Usage: The boards on the game screens contain tiles (at the start the tiles display empty/solid squares). By tapping a tile, you can choose from eight basic patterns. By dragging a tile, you can flip or rotate the basic pattern on it. You can compose complex patterns from these tiles. The app has 4 modes: ⢠Create Create your own patterns. ⢠Practice Practice how to reproduce a built-in pattern. ⢠Training Explore the transformation possibilities of the tiles by trying to cover a built-in pattern. ⢠Memory Game Train your memory to remember a practice pattern and reproduce it with as few selections and transformation as you can.
Knotwork Puzzle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Knotwork is a calm puzzle built on one simple idea: rotate the tiles until every line joins into a single, unbroken knot with no loose ends. There is no timer, no score chasing and no way to lose. You turn each piece, watch the golden strands find each other, and feel the whole pattern settle into place. When the last end closes, the knot lights up in a soft turquoise glow. The art is inspired by Anatolian and Celtic knotwork and the gold detailing of classical tezhib. Every board is a small woven ornament on deep petrol blue. FEATURES ⢠Hundreds of levels that grow from gentle to genuinely tricky ⢠Fully wordless, so it plays the same in any language ⢠Relaxing pace with optional sound, music and Zen mode ⢠Colored strands that weave over and under at higher levels ⢠One hand play, perfect for a quiet minute anywhere ⢠Plays offline, with no account and no sign up ⢠Optional one time purchase to remove ads Sit back, breathe, and weave the endless knot.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Creative Patterns at none against Knotwork Puzzle's shown. Knotwork Puzzle's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
