Watch the ruby. Remember the pattern. Play it back. RubyRepeat is a pure memory game played on a gleaming eight-facet gem. The board lights up one facet at a time and plays its tone — then it's your turn to repeat the sequence. Every level adds a note and picks up speed. One wrong tap, or one moment of hesitation too long, and it's game over. Simple to learn. Genuinely hard to master. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Classic — the ruby in deep faceted reds, the way a gem should look • Color — every facet gets its own vivid hue for an extra visual anchor Switch modes mid-game without losing your score, level, or sequence. SHARP, SATISFYING PLAY • Eight facets, eight tones — sound and light reinforce your memory • Precise touch targets shaped exactly like the facets you see • Sequences grow from 4 notes to 20 as the pace quickens • Score climbs faster at higher levels: every correct tap is worth more CLEAN AND FOCUSED • Free, with no ads, no in-app purchases, and no account required • Nothing tracks you — your sound preference is the only thing saved • Check the global top 25 right in the app, and submit your best runs if you choose • Designed for iPhone and iPad How long a pattern can you hold in your head — 8 notes? 12? 20? There's one way to find out.

These goofy eyeballs bounce into near-perfect physics perfection." - Kotaku "Gluddle made me laugh. Several times. Out loud. (...) It’s a puzzle, a physics game, and there’s a lot to figure out, and the thing is, you can’t lose, and it makes you laugh. It is fun. Major Fun. It will make you laugh. It will keep you playing. It will make you laugh some more." - Majorfun.com "Gluddle, which is one of the most addictive physics-based iOS games I’ve come across, has just been bumped to version 2.0. In its initial state, Gluddle is already a fantastic physics puzzler. But now, in its updated version, the game is even more so." - AppAdvice "Gluddle is a fantastic, creative game that doesn’t just copy the mechanics of other puzzle titles, it takes them, mashes them together, and pushes them farther than they have been previously, and has had some great support through updates from the developers. For that, it’s definitely worth checking out." - TheAppShack "Lots of physics-based knock out games will really raise your blood pressure (Angry Birds and Cut the Rope are notorious for this). For some reason, Gluddle doesn’t do this. It’s mellow." - BestKidsApps "It’s like throwing a bouncy ball very hard indoors and seeing what it smashes. Fun, in other words." - Games Asylum "Wa-Wa-wow! This game is absolutely immense!" - WeDoCode "When George Orwell sat down to write dark dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, he couldn't have known that he would one day inspire Gluddle, a physics-based iOS puzzler where you dislodge spying Big Brother-style eyes in the sky." - Eurogamer App of the Day "Gluddle is a solid title. This hidden gem is packed with amusing gameplay, impressive music and colorful graphics that make it one of the top physics-puzzler games in my book." - AppsOnTap "That game is confusing, obscure, weird and has a soundtrack that is almost annoying. Played the demo for a couple of minutes, fell in love with it and bought the full version. Great job, and great game!" - ZombieGorilla
