Have a game idea stuck in your head? Nanogram gives you one place to create and play games, turning a simple prompt into something playable while you explore mini games made by the community. Make yours, then see what everyone else came up with! HOW NANOGRAM WORKS - Start with your idea - Put the game you want to make into your own words. - Play what you made - Nanogram turns the prompt into a game you can try. - Change it if you want - Update the prompt, test again, and keep working on the parts that matter to you. - Publish when it is ready - Let other people find and play your creation. - See what others are making - Swipe through mini games and stop whenever something catches your attention. - Save games for later - Keep the ones you want to play again, even when you may be offline. CREATE GAMES WITH AI Sometimes the hardest part of making a game is getting from “I have an idea” to something that actually works. With Nanogram, you can skip a lot of that setup. Describe the game, play the result, and change whatever does not feel right. You can start small or keep building on the same idea. Maybe the rules need changing. Maybe you want a different challenge or another way to play. Just update the prompt and try again. That also means you can create and play your own games without coding or learning a traditional game engine first. Nanogram works as an AI game maker, but the idea, direction, and changes are still yours. FIND SOMETHING NEW TO PLAY Not in the mood to create anything? Open the feed and play. Nanogram brings mini games from different creators into one place. Try one, swipe when you are done, or stick with it if it is fun. Instead of downloading a new app for every game, you can just keep exploring in Nanogram. Some are easy to jump into when you only have a few minutes. Others may keep you around longer. Either way, there is always another creator and another idea waiting further down the feed. NO CODE NEEDED No programming background is required to start. If you can describe your game idea, you already have enough to begin. Prompts let you test an idea, make changes, and see the result without working through code first. It is a simpler way to experiment with game creation, whether this is your first attempt or you already have more ideas than time to build them. PUT YOUR GAME OUT THERE Once you have something you like, you can publish it inside Nanogram instead of keeping it to yourself. Other people can discover the game and play it, while you can keep exploring what the community is making too. This is what ties both sides of the app together. Nanogram gives you one place to create and play: creators make and publish games, while players discover them and move through a constantly changing collection of community-made experiences. KEEP GAMES READY FOR LATER Know you will be without a connection later? Save a few games beforehand. Nanogram can download saved games in the background, so they are there when you want them. That makes saved games handy on a flight, on the subway, or anywhere Wi-Fi and mobile signal are not something you can rely on. Download Nanogram to create and play AI games in one place. Make games from prompts with no code, publish your creations, discover mini games from other creators, and keep saved games ready for offline play. Make something worth playing, then see what comes next!

About

Cubean

Read full description

Twist a 3D cube. Line up the colors. Watch them blast! Cubean is a puzzle game played on the entire surface of a spinning 3D cube. Drag to twist a whole row or column - colors travel around the cube's edges, and when they line up, they pop in a satisfying cascade. What's hiding on the other side? Rotate and find out. TAKE YOUR TIME No countdown. No pressure. Campaign levels give you a set number of twists and all the time in the world to spend them. Turn the cube, look around, plan the big one. YOUR CUBE GROWS WITH YOU Start on a tiny 2x2 cube and grow it level by level to a 15x15 giant across 300 levels. Every 10 levels brings a reward chest. Every chapter makes your cube visibly bigger. TWIST ACROSS THE EDGES Matches aren't stuck on one side. Colors connect around corners and edges - the whole cube is one puzzle. Rotate to reveal hidden lines and plan bigger blasts. SPECIAL CUBES Clear five in a row and a Ring Rocket appears. Six makes a Cube Bomb, seven a Star Cube. Set one off beside your next match and watch the chain travel around the cube. FOUR WAYS TO WIN Hit a score. Collect a color. Chain a combo. Bloom every rose cube. Levels keep changing what they ask of you, and Time Rush drops in now and then when you want the clock back. A REASON TO COME BACK - Weekly League: thirty players, one week, promotion for the top ten - Live events: Color Hunt through the week, Star Rush at the weekend - Cube Garden: finish a chapter and plant something in it - Piggy Bank: quietly saves a quarter of every coin you earn by playing NO LIVES. NO WAITING. NO ADS. Out of moves? Just try again - instantly. Cubean never locks you out of your own game, and never interrupts it with an advert. FEATURES - 300 levels, from cozy 2x2 to epic 15x15 cubes - 4 goal types plus timed Time Rush levels - Combo chaining up to x10 - chain twists, not stopwatches - Rose cubes to bloom for bonus stars - Boosters: Time Slower, Cube Bomb, Color Magnet - Endless Rush and a Daily Challenge when you do want a clock - Game Center leaderboards: Weekly Score, Total Stars, Best Combo - Colorblind-friendly mode and haptic feedback - Soft clay design that's easy on the eyes Twist. Match. Blast. How big can your cube get?
