Tic! vs Numeriqo

Feeling bored but can't use your phone? Need a screen-free way to pass the time? Tic! has you covered! WHAT IS TIC? Tic! is a unique game with no sounds or visuals. Tic! uses haptic feedback (the vibrations your phone makes when you make a purchase, or long press an app on your home screen) in order to provide interactive, immersive gameplay! Just hold your phone in your hand, and tap away! HOW DOES TIC WORK? When you start, you'll feel a rhythm of 5 to 8 “Tics” (haptic vibrations). Your goal is to recreate the rhythm by tapping it anywhere on the screen. If your timing of your taps is close enough to the original, you win! If not, Tic! will replay the rhythm for you to try again. It sounds simple, but getting the timing just right is a fun challenge! Tic's Best Features: ANYTIME: Unlike fidget toys and stress balls, Tic! is with you all the time, ready to help out whenever you're bored! ANYWHERE: You can play Tic! anywhere without zoning out of your surroundings! (ex: in a movie theater, during a meeting, etc.) ANYONE: Almost anyone can play Tic!, even those who are sick or have certain disabilities. Tic includes accessibility support to make sure it's game fun for everyone! EYE STRAIN: Tic! offers a less stimulating alternative to social media and other games, perfect for when you want to give your eyes a break! WATCH: Your purchase includes Tic! for both iPhone and Apple Watch. The game is optimized for both versions, taking into account their differences in size and hardware. HAVE A QUESTION? We would love to hear it! Please reach out to us at freestyle.feedback@gmail.com (One more thing. We have added accessibility support within Tic!, but if there is anything else we can do to make the app even more accessible please let us know by reaching out at freestyle.feedback@gmail.com or by telling us in a review. Thank you!)

Numeriqo is a Calcudoku puzzle: fill the grid so no row or column repeats a digit, and every outlined cage hits its target using the operator in its corner. Most number puzzles leave you to work out the technique yourself, or hand you the answer when you are stuck. Numeriqo does neither. TAUGHT, NOT ASSUMED Sixteen techniques, introduced one at a time, from single-cell cages up to X-Wing. Each lesson is a short explanation followed by a puzzle that needs the technique you just read about. Your progress on each one is tracked, and counts only the solves you managed unaided. HINTS THAT EXPLAIN Ask for a hint and Numeriqo tells you the region first. Ask again and it names the technique. Ask again and it draws the reasoning on the grid, cell by cell. Only the last step will place a digit for you, and taking it is a deliberate act rather than the default. NO GUESSING, EVER Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and every puzzle is checked before you see it to make sure the techniques in the app are enough to finish it. You will never be asked to guess and backtrack. WHAT YOU GET FREE Grids from 3x3 to 5x5 at all five difficulties, the rules tutorial, the first lessons, best times for every grid and difficulty, and a daily puzzle that is the same board for everyone. ONE PURCHASE UNLOCKS THE REST Grids up to 9x9, the full technique curriculum, practice drills for each technique, hints that teach, and your full progress. One purchase, no subscription, no adverts, and nothing is collected about you. Inspired by the Japanese arithmetic puzzles popularised by Tetsuya Miyamoto.
