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.

About

Earshot

Features
Read full description

Earshot is an ear-training game that doesn't lecture you about ear training. You play a detective working thirteen cases across a city of musical conmen. Each case is a puzzle box: a chord, a melody, a fragment you have to identify by ear. Solve it and you close the file. Miss it and the suspect stays at large. Three puzzle modes: - Pitch Sort. Tap cells in pitch order, lowest to highest. Sounds simple. It isn't. - Tone Lock. Spin dials until each one matches the note you heard. The dials don't tell you when you're right. - Frequency Stack. Drag tokens between slots until the stack is in ascending order. Audition tokens by tapping. Decide what's higher. Districts ramp from triads in the cellar to dense voicings on the top floor. Skill focus shifts as you go: diatonic shapes, bass intervals, cluster discrimination, chromatic resolution. The difficulty curve is built around what you would actually struggle with, not what is easy to grade. What Earshot doesn't do: - No ads. - No in-app purchases. - No account, no login, no tracking. - No daily streak guilt trip. - No tutorial. The game teaches itself by being honest about what you got wrong. Single-player. Offline. Your progress lives on your device. Universal Purchase: works on iPhone and iPad with one buy. Best with headphones. Optional, but you will hear the difference.
