A fully hand-painted interactive artwork and homage to the wonders of life. You take on the role of an invisible natural being, helping a little seedling grow into a mighty tree. In the meantime, you plant and care for a myriad of grasses, flowers and small, buzzing creatures. The entire experience is accompanied by short poems, quotes, and thoughts about life. “Life is Slow” tries to decelerate our modern way of being and hopes to help people who suffer from anxiety, stress, insomnia, or depression. An app to help you unwind, and to bring back a partly forgotten appreciation of nature and art.

Turn mirrors, guide light and make every crystal shine. Prisma Light Shift is a calm logic puzzle. Every emitter sends out a beam of light, and mirrors turn it by 90 degrees. Set all mirrors first, then send the light – the fewer shots you need, the more crystals you earn. - 300 levels in 25 chapters, each one checked to be solvable - Turn mirrors, get around walls, guide several lights at once - Prisms split white light into teal, coral and gold – coloured crystals only shine in their own colour - Rotating emitters: you decide which way the light starts - Lenses blend colours into violet, magenta or back to white - No timer, no violence – play at your own pace - Short lessons introduce every new element; the guide is always in the settings - Hints with 3 free credits every day, or a video ad - Game Center leaderboards, progress saved to iCloud - In English and German, for iPhone Prisma Light Shift is free and contains ads (Google AdMob). You can change your ad privacy choices at any time under Settings → Ads & purchases.
