About

Shadow Riddler

Features
Read full description

Shadow Riddler is a multiplayer role-playing game in which players take on different roles and reason, vote, and more to find out who the werewolves are and destroy them. Before the game begins, each player is randomly selected a character, including guards, civilians, seers, vampires, and more. Werewolves and vampires are the villainous characters in the game, who have to carry out assassinations on other players at night, while other players have to try their best to find out the werewolves and destroy them. The game is divided into two phases: daytime and nighttime. During the day, reasoning can be used to try to figure out who the werewolves are. During the night, the werewolves will choose a target to assassinate while the other players try to protect themselves from being assassinated.

About

Sweep Demons

Features
Read full description

A simple puzzle game that uses the rules of Minesweeper. Tap the squares to avoid being seen by demons. When you tap, a square in the grass will open and a number will be displayed showing how many enemies are in all directions around that square. Use the numbers as hints to open all the squares except for the enemy, and the magic will be activated! Let's wipe out the demons! If you want to place a flag in one square, you can do so by long-pressing the flag. If you want to set up flags continuously, press the flag button at the bottom to enter flag mode, and you will be able to set up flags with one tap. Pressing the flag button again will cancel flag mode. [Normal mode] A simple classic minesweeper game. Compatible with "Speedrun" Game Center ranking. [Endless mode] Challenge yourself to see how many floors you can advance without encountering demons. Aim for a high score and aim for the top of the ranking! [Recommend this game to the following people] I like the game Minesweeper. I like puzzle games that make you think carefully.
