Cyclo is an endless sidescrolling game, where your one and only goal is to dodge the incoming blocks. But there's a twist: you can't move your character up and down! Instead, you must harness the power of rotation to swerve between obstacles. There is a unique trait to the incoming blocks: they never come in pairs. This means, with careful timing, you can swap your direction of rotation and swerve right between them! Watch out! At various points throughout the game, it will become more difficult to survive. Watch out for things like your character moving up and down, blocks increasing speed, or even blocks switching to different heights at the last second! ---------------------------------------- This game was first created for a WWDC student scholarship application, before being improved for launch on the App Store.

About

Typing Number Game

Read full description

This is a modest, unknown game that has only been downloaded by 47 people worldwide and has zero ratings. (As of October 6, 2025) But there is one thing to be proud of: The fact that only one person has deleted the game since its release... Although this result does not translate to a rating on the App Store, I consider it to mean that 46 out of 47 people rated it as fun. As you may know, the competition for apps is fierce, and considering the reality that apps are quickly deleted if they are deemed boring or unnecessary by users, this game's survival rate is astonishing. This result is a great encouragement for app developers. But on the other hand, app developers also want my app to be more highly rated and played more often. A game rated by 98% of people... Interested? Why not give it a try? This is a typing game consisting only of numbers. Find the gray number from a list of four numbers and enter it. When all four numbers are gone, a new number will appear. The faster you enter the numbers, the higher your score. If you can't enter the numbers within the time limit, the game is over. There are no complicated rules, so this is a game you can enjoy without worrying about your mind.
