PopGroup is a polished version of the classic "samegame" concept invented in 1985 by Kuniaki Moribe. Just pop groups of bubbles that have the same color. Sound easy? It is, unless you want a high score! You have to pop groups in the right order to form bigger groups and get more points. Compare PopGroup to other games based on the same concept: - Crystal-clear graphics - Animations - Customizable width, height, and number of bubble colors - Online high scores - No in-app ads or in-app purchases! PopGroup is made by the developer of tChess (the popular iOS chess app), and Learn Chess (the Apple Staff Favorite e-book).

Did you ever wondered how it feels to be trapped inside a higher-dimensional room? There is no way out, anywhere you run, any door you open will get you back to the original place. When a cube is stretched into the 4th dimension, it becomes a Hypercube, composed of 8 interconnected cubes. Hipercubo is a puzzle game inside a Hypercube. You will need to turn, twist and fold it inside out to bring the desired cubes, avoiding obstacles, searching for powers and ways to get in locked cubes. Hipercubo makes us think about higher dimensions discovered by physicists and how our universe is structured, being finite in space, but unbounded. You can run trough the 8 cubes forever and will never reach the end, like an ant running on the surface of a balloon... Includes an exhilarating off-game full-screen mode. Tilt and twist the Hypercube with the accelerometer while listening to the amazing sci-fi soundtrack provided by Cromo.sônica. Play it Freestyle or take the Challenge in 56 puzzles! Headphones highly recommended!
