App Store iPhone Game of the Week in more than 70 countries! - April 2011 "We’ve seen clever puzzle games before, but we’ve never seen anything like this." – AppSmile "Percepto is an excellent little puzzle game that feels perfect for iOS devices" – GamePro Bruce has fallen asleep and finds himself in a strange room that can be flattened to two dimensions. Help him find his way to the door by rotating the room and compressing to a new point of view. Once you've mastered the basics of rotating the room, you'll encounter new puzzle elements that will force you to think in 3D, but move in 2D. Moving blocks can carry you to your destination, but only after they have been turned on using a button! Green blocks enable you to see through other blocks like they aren't even there. After you've solved each room, play it again for the perfect moves challenge

Snake

Step right up. Mr. Wriggles has no legs, no second chances, and no intention of slowing down. This is not the snake you grew up with. There is no grid and no four directions - you steer by heading, arcing him through a hand-drawn 1930s cartoon world where everything is either food or a very bad idea. Eat fruit, grow absurdly long, stay off the walls. That's the whole deal. EAT, GROW, GO FASTER Apples and blueberries are the everyday snack. Dragon fruit is worth the detour. Pineapple is the rare jackpot. Every bite makes you longer and a little quicker so the run gets harder precisely because you're doing well. MIND THE ROTTEN ONES Bite a rotten apple and it costs you about 15% of your length, drops your speed, and reverses your steering for a second and a half while dizzy stars orbit your head. It still pays out three points. Your call. THE TENT IS FULL OF TROUBLE Beetles drift. Cockroaches dart without warning. Spiders skitter and eat the fruit you were lining up. Rival eels wander the board until they notice you and then their whole body is lethal. Mold creeps outward and never stops growing. Crates and the border hedge don't move, and don't forgive. Ink pools and tar pits grab your belly and stiffen your turns. Portals warp your entire body to their twin, once. Crows swoop in to rob you of the nearest fruit. THE DRAW Every 20 points the world freezes and fate deals two cards face up. You keep one. The other is reshuffled in the deck. Twenty-three cards/power-ups in rotation. IT GETS HARDER. ALWAYS. Every 10 points you thicken and fresh hazards, bugs, and mold arrive. Every 30 points a new enemy worm joins the hunt. There are no levels to clear — just a board that escalates until it finally wins. 23 ACHIEVEMENTS. 18 COATS. Full Game Center support: a global leaderboard for your best run, plus 23 achievements from THE 250 CLUB to feats they only whisper about behind the tent. Fifteen of the eighteen worm skins are locked behind them CANDY CANE, FILM REEL, NIGHT TRAIN, CLOCKWORK, CONSTELLATION and more, with four that stay masked until you earn them. PLAYS ON EVERY SCREEN • iPhone and iPad — a floating thumbstick that appears under your thumb • Apple TV — Siri Remote or a game controller • Apple Watch — steer with the Digital Crown No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. Just a worm, a tent, and one life.
