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!

SH3LLC0DE is a code breaking game built around deduction. If you know Mastermind, Bulls and Cows, or Wordle, the basic idea will feel familiar. SH3LLC0DE takes that familiar formula and adds layers of complexity as you progress. Each attempt tells you something about the hidden code. Use that information to narrow down the possibilities and find the answer before the alarm reaches 100. You have tools when you need them, but knowing when you actually need them is part of the problem. There are 100 missions in the campaign. Things are fairly simple at first. They don’t stay that way. New rules and security systems are introduced as you go, and later missions start combining them. There’s a story running underneath the campaign, too. The jobs have consequences. You’ll see them in news reports and hear about them from your broker. Eventually, some of the targets, buyers and people caught in the middle start turning up in places they probably shouldn’t. There are daily puzzles, too. Crack a new one every day, or make a run of it with two or three. Finish at least one to keep your streak alive. No ads or in-app purchases. No account or internet connection required. No data collection.
