About

Shift The Disks

Features
Read full description

Shift the Disks is a beautifully simple yet brain-teasing puzzle game inspired by the classic Towers of Hanoi. Your goal is to move all the disks from the leftmost tower to another, one move at a time, following a few clever rules. * Move only one disk at a time. Only the top disk of any tower can be moved. Larger disks can't go on top of smaller ones. * Tap a tower to select its top disk. Tap another tower to place the selected disk. Win the game by stacking all the disks on a different tower. Shift the Disks is fully compatible with VoiceOver and designed from the ground up to be accessible for blind and low-vision players. Every move, tower, and disk is clearly announced, making the experience intuitive and enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're a puzzle veteran or just looking for a relaxing brain workout, Shift the Disks delivers a timeless challenge you'll want to solve again and again. We would like to thank Ahmad Albahar for his help in testing the game.

Pulsefield is a haptic minefield game. Drag your finger across a blank screen to find an invisible goal — guided only by what you feel. A smooth, steady vibration grows stronger as you approach the goal. A pulsing buzz warns you of hidden mines. Learn to read the signals, dodge the danger, and reach the target. No map. No hints. Just touch. Place your finger anywhere and drag. A warm, steady vibration means you're heading toward the goal — the stronger it gets, the closer you are. If the vibration starts pulsing, you're near a mine. Change direction. Trust your instincts. Reach the goal. The difficulty scales as you improve. More mines, tighter spacing, less room to breathe. Track your stats, climb the Game Center leaderboard, and unlock achievements along the way. Pulsefield turns your iPhone into a tactile puzzle. Every round is different. Every path is yours. Fully accessible with VoiceOver. No ads. No account required.
