About

Creative Patterns

Features
Read 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.

Numora: Block Puzzle is a calm, elegant logic game where numbers meet space. Every puzzle shows you a grid dotted with numbered clues. Your job is simple to understand, satisfying to master: draw a rectangle around each clue so that the number of cells inside exactly matches the clue's value — and cover the entire board with no overlaps. No luck, no timers pushing you around, just clean logic and a bit of spatial intuition. FEATURES • 100 handcrafted Normal levels, from a gentle 4x4 start to challenging 7x7 boards, with difficulty that grows naturally as you progress. • Toplama mode: some regions share a single combined clue, so you'll need to add before you draw. • Double mode: two independent puzzles overlap on the same board, solved layer by layer. • Play your way: classic 3-lives mode for a bit of tension, or switch to Zen mode and solve at your own pace with no penalty for mistakes. • A living, breathing board: intent-aware drawing corrects near-misses, smart touch handling, and satisfying completion animations. • Sit back and relax with a rotating library of original background music, or turn it off entirely — it's your call. • Make it yours: 8 accent colors, dark and light appearances, and a fully translated interface in 16 languages. • Gentle haptic feedback while you draw, fully optional. • Occasional timed levels for players who want an extra challenge, complete with a countdown and a warning cue. Numora is designed to be picked up for two minutes or two hours — a few calm puzzles on a commute, or a long, focused session when you want to think in shapes and numbers. No account, no sign-up, no pressure. Just open it and start solving.
