About

ShapeSnap!

Features
Read full description

ShapeSnap is a minimalist shape memory game that tests your spatial recall, one hexagon at a time. HOW IT WORKS Each round, you get 5 seconds to study a unique hexagonal shape. Then it disappears. Your job? Draw it back as precisely as you can. First, sketch the shape freehand. ShapeSnap automatically fits your stroke into a 6-point hexagon. Then fine-tune each handle until you're happy. When you're ready, submit and see your score. Every vertex counts. Every millimeter matters. SCORING Each shape is worth up to 10 points, 50 points total per game. The scoring is unforgiving: a perfect 10 requires near pixel-perfect accuracy. Most players hover around 25 to 35. Hitting 45+ is rare. Hitting 50 is almost impossible. FEATURES · 5 randomly generated shapes per game, no two games are the same · Two-phase drawing: freehand sketch then handle refinement · Vertex-distance scoring for precise, fair results · Daily leaderboard to compete with players worldwide · All-time leaderboard to track the best scores ever · Personal stats: average score, best game, streak · Haptic feedback and smooth animations throughout · Light and dark mode support · One-time purchase for unlimited games, no subscription ever FREE TO PLAY Every day you get 3 free games. Free games reset daily. Want more? Unlock unlimited access with a single one-time payment, no recurring charges, no ads. Simple to pick up. Nearly impossible to master. How well do you really remember shapes?
