A challenge lies before you, or rather above you. Can you surpass this vertical puzzle? Can you reach the top? And then what, will you stop and rest, or continue to climb higher. Climb Higher is a challenging physics based puzzle platformer where you must slingshot yourself up high, stick to whatever you can, shatter through everything that breaks, grow big, shrink down, become the master of your momentum, and reach even greater heights! From the creator of Brain It On! and Shatterbrain. This game shows ads during gameplay, but you can remove them with an in app purchase which supports my work and helps me continue making games.

About

ColorEcho

Features
Read full description

ColorEcho is a colorful memory game for iPhone and Apple Watch. Watch the pads flash, then repeat the sequence. Get it right and it grows. It starts simple and keeps getting harder. The grid grows, the speed picks up, and at level 4 you tap the sequence backwards. Past that, new twists arrive: Shuffle moves the pads before your turn, and Blackout turns them dark so you have to remember where each color was. Earn lives as you climb. Each heart covers one mistake, or spend one to peek at the sequence again. Take the Daily Challenge: one board a day, the same for everyone, with three lives and a sequence that never stops growing. Compare scores on the daily leaderboard. FEATURES • Endless levels with Reverse, Shuffle and Blackout twists • Daily Challenge with its own leaderboard • Practice any level you have reached • Lives, peek, stats and daily streaks • 14 Game Center achievements and a high score leaderboard • Classic, Neon and Candy color themes • Tones and Arcade sound sets • The full game on Apple Watch, with a watch face complication • Colorblind symbols, VoiceOver and Reduce Motion support No account needed.
