"Great puzzle mechanic combined with unusual but engaging visuals." - AppSpy, 4/5 "AppXplore created a great puzzle game with Sporos. Addicting and challenging." - NWCN, 5/5 "With a whopping 500 puzzles to solve, there's plenty here to keep genre fans amused." - PocketGamer, Bronze Award "Sporos is a pure puzzle game in the classical sense, with a simple rule set that quickly iterates and expands." - Maclife "Sporos is beautiful, radiant, challenging, and there’s a lot to do." - AppAdvice "A dollar buys you hundreds of puzzles" - The Gamers's Temple Sporos is a simple yet challenging puzzle game. The objective is to light up the cells in each level with a special seed known as the sporos. Players drag pieces onto the board one at a time, arranging them to extend all the way down every row and column. Sporos demands a mix of skill, luck, and logic; in order to succeed, players will conduct clever experiments like scientists in a lab. The soothing electronic music helps you keep your cool, while the colorful graphics lend the game a spacey, biological vibe. Sporos starts off easy, but with hundreds of levels and multiple solutions for each, it will take a true puzzle genius to master this stylish, colorful app. FEATURES: • Simple-yet-challenging puzzle gaming • Futuristic theme with neon "biological" graphics • 300 levels in Essential Labs – starts off simple and gets increasingly tricky • 200 extra levels in Experimental Labs – mutated sporos put your skills to the test! • Universal iOS app for iPhone & iPad • Game Center support with 20 Achievements • Hints for purchase, just in case you get stuck • More levels in the months to come!

About

OneWay

Read full description

OneWay is a clean, satisfying puzzle game where your goal is simple: connect the entrance to the exit using tile pieces. Place tiles on the grid to build a continuous path from IN to OUT. Every tile must be used — no extras, no shortcuts. As you progress through 100 hand-crafted stages across 5 zones, new mechanics are introduced one by one: • CLASSIC — Learn the basics. Place tiles to form a clean path. • FAKE — Extra tiles are added to mislead you. Only the right ones form the path. • BRIDGE — Paths can cross. Figure out which tile goes over which. • PORTAL — Teleport between two points on the grid. The path continues on the other side. • MULTI-LINE — Two separate paths. Both must be completed at the same time. After clearing all 100 stages, Infinite Mode unlocks — endless puzzles with randomized zones and grid sizes. Simple rules. Deep thinking. OneWay.
