Gridity is a fast-paced shape matching puzzle where the main role is played by gravity, and *you* are the gravitational field. Move the gravitational field around the spacetime grid and grab matching shapes: get close and dislodge the shapes from their positions with gravity, while avoiding all arrows. Arrows always fall towards you: if they touch any shapes you've grabbed, the grid will reclaim all shapes, and you'll have to grab them again. Once you've grabbed all shapes on the grid, you'll have to survive the arrows for a few more seconds in order to clear a level. Key features: • instant launch: zero loading sequences • play with one finger: no controls to learn, just tap and pan • zoom anytime: tap on shapes after activating the gravity field • haptics feedback: feel what happens on the grid • unique levels: never play the same level twice • choose difficulty: switch from easy to normal mode and back, as you see fit • Game Center: collect achievements and compete in multiple leaderboards Details: PLAYING: • Collect all geometric shapes on the grid, by making them fall in a gravity well — you are the gravitational field itself. • All shapes are attached to the grid: in order to grab them away, move the field until they fall into it. • Avoid the arrows you will find: these are *not* attached to the grid, so they keep falling towards the gravity well at all times… MOVING: • Touch the grid to activate the gravity well — if you tap on the arrow or on a shape, the field is only disturbed. • Pan with a single finger to move towards any shape — you can also start panning without tapping: it's actually better to keep your finger away from the field, and lift it as needed. • When a shape is close enough to the field, it will fall into it and become “grabbed”. GRABBING: • Keep collecting any shape of the same kind remaining in the field. • Once you have grabbed all shapes of a kind, you can choose any other kind — until there is no shape left. • Once all shapes of all kinds have been grabbed, hold on for a few seconds (if you can…) in order to complete the level! STAYIN’ ALIVE: • If you have grabbed a circle, and by accident you grab — say — a triangle, you'll lose any already grabbed circle(s). • The arrow is your enemy — as soon as the field is activated, it will start falling into it. • If the arrow manages to fall into the center of the field, you'll lose all grabbed shapes and have to restart grabbing from scratch…

Dial Tone is a rhythm game where you make the music. Three concentric rings glow on a dark screen, divided into quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes. Lasers fire in from the corners, placing colored blocks onto the rings. A beat hand sweeps like a clock, and every block it passes plays a note. Your job: rotate the rings and fill one completely to clear it. But here‘s the catch. As outer rings fill up, they become obstacles. A laser that collides with the wrong ring ends the game. The fuller the rings get, the more you‘re juggling, and the more complex the music becomes. There are no points. Your score is the tempo. You start slow, and every time you clear a ring, the BPM ticks up. How fast can you go? The music is yours. No two sessions sound the same. Every block you place adds notes to a chord. The result is a polyrhythmic, ever-changing composition that you‘re building as you play. A song that no one has heard before and no one will hear again. WHAT MAKES DIAL TONE DIFFERENT Unlike traditional rhythm games, you don‘t follow a pre-made song. The music emerges from your gameplay. Every session produces a unique piece shaped by your decisions, your reflexes, and the rising tempo. The interaction is pure and tactile: spin the rings with your finger like a rotary dial. No tapping to a beat. No memorizing patterns. Just a fluid, physical mechanic that starts meditative and becomes frantic. DESIGNED WITH CARE • Dial Tone honors iOS Accessibility settings for color filtering, reduced motion, and sensitivity to flashing lights. • Tiny download. Everything — visuals, music, and gameplay — is generated in code. • No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. No tracking. No internet connection required. Just you and the game.
