About

Shift The Disks

Features
Read full description

Shift the Disks is a beautifully simple yet brain-teasing puzzle game inspired by the classic Towers of Hanoi. Your goal is to move all the disks from the leftmost tower to another, one move at a time, following a few clever rules. * Move only one disk at a time. Only the top disk of any tower can be moved. Larger disks can't go on top of smaller ones. * Tap a tower to select its top disk. Tap another tower to place the selected disk. Win the game by stacking all the disks on a different tower. Shift the Disks is fully compatible with VoiceOver and designed from the ground up to be accessible for blind and low-vision players. Every move, tower, and disk is clearly announced, making the experience intuitive and enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're a puzzle veteran or just looking for a relaxing brain workout, Shift the Disks delivers a timeless challenge you'll want to solve again and again. We would like to thank Ahmad Albahar for his help in testing the game.
