Alike!
Read full descriptionHide full description
No spoilers or clues here; you will receive a few prompts (eventually). The challenge is about seeing things accurately and reacting quickly. The more complex the things get, and the faster you can react correctly, the more you score. Tip: at more difficult levels, "alike" doesn't always mean "exactly the same". If you are really stuck, take a look at the Facebook group (linked to somewhere in the App Store listing).
numsters
Read full descriptionHide full description
Numster is the bite-size number-guessing game you can finish in under a minute. Offline Mode – Numster picks a secret 3-digit code. (You can set the digit-code up to 6.) Enter a guess, hit OK, see how many digits are correct, then refine until you nail all three. Online Mode – set your own code and take turns guessing against a real opponent. First to 3 correct wins; if your rival quits, Numster instantly finds a new match. Quick to learn, endlessly replayable, and completely ad-free—just pure brain-teasing fun whenever you have a spare moment.
