Handsy
Read full descriptionHide full description
Your hands are the controller. Handsy uses your front camera to track your fingers, so you grab, lift, stack and throw real physics pieces by pinching in the air. No touching the screen, no buttons. It feels a bit like magic the first time it clicks. There are two ways to play. In Key levels you build. Every level hides a golden lock somewhere high, and a key somewhere low. Stack wood, stone, metal and glass until the key can reach the lock. Wood is friendly. Stone is heavy and swings from wherever you pinch it. Glass breaks if you're careless, and sometimes breaking it is exactly what you need. Later levels add ropes you can string between knobs, hanging platforms, tracks with holes in them, and towers that really do not want to stay up. In Jenga levels you do the opposite. Pull the black pieces out without letting the red ones fall. It starts polite and ends with swinging pendulums, sealed boxes with one opening, and a rope full of pieces raining down on you. Along the way you collect badges hidden in the levels and spend them on charms, small upgrades you wear on your fingers, like a thimble that lets you flick pieces around without grabbing them. You can play with one hand while holding your phone, or prop the device up and use both hands. There's also online multiplayer: one hand each, same tower, good luck agreeing on anything. Everything is tracked on your device. The camera image is never uploaded anywhere. Fair warning: your arms will be tired. That's how you know it's working.
