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

Syrious Squish

Features
Read full description

Ninety-six little monsters live at the bottom of the water. They watch your finger. They blink when they feel like it. When you close in on their group, their eyes go wide and their mouths fall open. Squish them anyway. GUS IS WATCHING Gus is the biggest of them, and he is not exactly on your side. He hangs over the board and talks you through your run in a voice that keeps sliding out of encouragement into something else. "They can see you, you know." Squish a monster that was all on its own and he goes cold and gray: "You took a lonely one. Rude." Pull off something enormous and he comes down off his perch to stomp the group flat himself. HOW IT PLAYS Tap a group of touching monsters of the same color. They pulse, a ring draws around them, and the score you would get floats above their heads. Tap again and they pop. Whatever is left falls into the hole, empty columns slide shut, and the board is a different board than it was a second ago. BIGGER IS BETTER. MUCH BETTER. Every monster you add to a group is worth more than the one before it. Ten together are worth 356 points. Split those same ten into two fives and you get 152. So this is not really a game about spotting a match. It is a game about how big you can grow something before it falls apart. You can squish a monster that is all on its own. It costs you 100 points. That one rule is what makes this a thinking game: tidying up has a price, and the last few moves of a round turn into a real decision. Clear the whole board without ever taking a lonely one and your score doubles. You always see what a group is worth before you take it. Nothing is hidden from you. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY Level - Hit the target score and go deeper. There is no last level, and you never lose your place. Put the game down for a week and you come back to the deepest level you ever reached. Timed - 120 seconds. The faster you move, the more each squish is worth, and every second you have left over pays out at the end. Endless - No clock, no target. Just you and the board. Versus - Two players, one phone. Take turns. Your own color is worth double to you. First to 2000 wins. SIX COLORS, SIX TEMPERAMENTS Blush, Sky, Yolk, Wisp, Mint and Berry. Each has its own eyes, its own way of blinking, and its own way of panicking when you come for it. The colors were chosen to stay easy to tell apart, including if you are color blind. Ten pieces of music, written for this game. None of them loop, so none of them wear out. And the squish itself gets deeper, longer and wetter the more monsters go at once. The rules are borrowed from a puzzle game from 1999, and they have not been watered down since. WHAT IS NOT IN IT No ads. No in-app purchases. No sign-in, no account, nothing to connect. Works with no internet at all. ALSO Close the game in the middle of a round and it comes back exactly where you left it, same board, still paused. Squish with one tap instead of two, if you would rather. Prefer things calmer? Turn off the screen shake and the bursts. Music and sound effects have their own volume sliders. "Nothing left down there but water."
