Read full description

NLMG is a minimalist arcade survival game about precision and endurance. Hold the circles with both fingers and stay alive while obstacles flood the screen. Your score is the time you survive — every fraction of a second matters. HOW TO PLAY • Touch and hold both circles to start. • Keep both fingers on the screen. Let go and it’s game over. • Avoid obstacles and avoid collisions between circles. • The longer you survive, the higher your score. MODES • Solo — the classic challenge. • Co‑op (tablets) — control four circles together. • Competitive (tablets) — split‑screen duel with mirrored obstacles. SCORING • Time is measured to the hundredth of a second. • Best scores are saved locally and highlighted when you break a record. • Compete globally via Game Center. FEATURES • Instant, responsive controls. • Difficulty that scales with screen size and time. • Minimalist black‑and‑white visual style with clean typography. • Global leaderboards via Game Center. FAIR & FOCUSED • Obstacles spawn with consistent rules; in competitive mode both players face identical patterns. • No energy, no timers, no pay‑to‑win — just skill. • Optimized for smooth play on phones and tablets. DESIGNED FOR CLARITY • High‑contrast UI for quick readability. • Clear color coding in competitive mode. AUDIO & FEEL • Music and sound effects can be toggled separately. • Haptics supported where available. TIPS • Keep circles apart and use both hands. • Small, steady moves beat big swipes. SETTINGS & PRIVACY NLMG is designed to be simple, fast, and endlessly replayable. Play a one‑minute session or chase an all‑time record. Start a run, beat your best time, and climb the rankings. - Terms of Use: https://nlmg.utopiaapplications.com/terms/ - EULA: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ - Privacy Policy: https://nlmg.utopiaapplications.com/privacy/
