Power Summers is a competitive mathematical strategy game built around exponential progression systems. Choose your engine: • 2ⁿ Binary Mode • 3ⁿ Ternary Mode Each system follows different merge logic and creates a distinct board strategy. Binary Mode rewards power-of-two expansion patterns. Ternary Mode requires exact triple merges and completely changes tile planning dynamics. Compete on separate Game Center leaderboards for each system. FEATURES • Dual progression systems (2-based and 3-based) • Independent ranked leaderboards • Overcharge mechanic – build energy and upgrade tiles strategically • Clean neon strategy interface • Pro-exclusive Endless Mode • No forced timers – pure strategic play Binary and Ternary modes are not cosmetic variations — they require different planning, board control, and merge strategy. If you enjoy mathematical pattern systems and competitive high-score optimization, Power Summers offers two distinct strategic engines in one game.

OUCH. is stupidly simple. Impossibly hard. Dangerously addictive. You're a glowing ball between two walls of spikes. Tap to dash to the other side. That's the whole game. You'll die in 2 seconds. Then you'll tap retry. And again. And again. No tutorials, no loading screens — you're playing in one second. Instant death, instant retry. Starts easy, then the spikes come faster, from both sides, with smaller gaps. Good luck. NEW IN V2: Choose your nickname. Survive spike waves to level up — each level faster than the last. Collect golden coins along the way. Every 5 coins earn you an extra life. You'll need it. The game roasts you when you die. Score 0? "did you even try?" Score 50? "you're not human" Screenshot your score. Share it. Prove it. Beat your friends. Beat your record. Beat the game. (Spoiler: you can't.) OUCH. — you've been warned.
