Based on simple rules and minimalist features, Traffix will amaze you in no time! The highway is a place where chaos, stress and rage are always present, mainly in big cities like Paris, Tokyo, Istanbul or Las Vegas. Aware of this, you must control the traffic light to keep the drivers safe and maintain peace. Start fighting chaos all over the world! Features: Simple rules: Tap the traffic light on the right time to change its color and manage the highway. It works just as a normal traffic light with green, yellow and red colors. Minimalist: You will find cars, a bus or a van in almost every city. There are cities featuring a truck, a train and even a plane. Your job? Make sure they don’t crash. Calming: Traffix will not force you to think too hard. Each new city will amaze your senses and help you to relax. Tricky levels: The visual features of Traffix are very simple and minimalist, but some cities can turn very tricky! The slightest distraction can cause a big crash. Everybody hates traffic. Even when it is minimalist, like on Traffix. Now there is a way to control chaos and spread some peace to the streets. On Traffix you are the highway manager. Each city will deliver a different dose of stress and chaos. By tapping the traffic lights on the right time, you can control the flow and avoid raging drivers. It’s very important that you do not make drivers wait or they will get mad. On the other side, do not rush or they will crash! You have to wait for the right time to tap the traffic lights and guide the cars to their destination. The lights are red by default. Wait for the right time to turn the yellow light on and let one car go. When the road is empty, double tap to activate the green traffic light! You will quickly understand how Traffix works, thanks to the minimalist and evocative elements. The rules are simple: Red: All the vehicles will stop. The red traffic light will get everybody angry after a while. Yellow: It will allow one car to pass. After that, becomes automatically red. The yellow traffic light is the safest play. Green: Tap twice to make the light turn green. This will open the traffic light and allow all the cars to advance. Most of the accidents occur within the green traffic light. Chaos Mode: There is a second game mode available. The Chaos Mode is just for pros and it will amaze you by its simplicity. As you understand by its name, it features extra stress and madness. You need to guide the police cars to their destination safely. One crash and you lose. Do you think you can complete all the cities? This is your time to prove it. Play all over the world! Traffix features the busiest cities in the world. Places where stress is rooted and peace is a distant mirage. As you progress, the highway will get more and more chaotic. On that point, one of two things will happen: or you overcome the challenges or you become one of the raging drivers. See you on the highway!

Read full description

A code is deduced, never guessed. One secret code. Five colors. One certainty: everything can be deduced. Chromata is a solo logic deduction game. A code hides behind three, four or five colors, each carrying a value from 1 to 5. You don't guess it — you prove it. HOW IT PLAYS Each turn, three statements are offered to you — with no verdict attached. "Iris is greater than Cobalt." "The sum of Sulphur and Amber is less than 5." You pick one. Only then does the game reveal whether it is true or false. And that is the whole point: a false statement teaches you exactly as much as a true one. If "Iris > Cobalt" is false, then Iris ≤ Cobalt. There is no bad draw, no luck to suffer — only reasoning that is more or less efficient. Cross out impossible values on the grid, cross-reference, narrow it down. When one candidate is left, submit it. A BREAK MADE OF ATTENTION No endless feed, no autoplaying video, no banner blinking to keep you here. Chromata asks for the exact opposite of scrolling: a few minutes of continuous attention, a line of reasoning held from start to finish, and the very distinct satisfaction of having worked something out instead of having consumed it. A game lasts two to ten minutes. It plays in silence, offline, on a commute or in a quiet room. WHAT'S INSIDE • 3, 4 or 5-color codes — up to 3,125 possible combinations • Three difficulties, which change the nature of the clues served, not just their number • Eight families of statements: comparisons, sums, orderings, counts, positions, membership • A fully interactive elimination grid — your scratchpad, right on screen • Jokers, for when a game closes in on you • Divination mode: reroll a triplet of statements at the cost of points • Timed mode: reasoning under pressure, with a speed bonus under one minute • Full history: every game can be replayed, statement by statement, verdict by verdict • Seven ranks to climb, from Greyness to Divine Lagoon • English and French, interface and statements alike • No ads, no account, no data collection, no connection required FULL VERSION The game installs and plays for free: 3-color codes, easy and normal difficulty, unlimited games, tutorial included. A single purchase — never a subscription — unlocks 4 and 5-color codes, hard mode and timed mode.
