Trace Memory Game

Features
Read full description

A shape flashes on screen. You have to redraw it from memory — in the same place, at the same size, before time runs out. Trace is a memory recall game. Every round walks through three phases: memorize, recall, score. The shorter the flash, the harder it gets. From a generous three-second look on Beginner to a brutal 0.3-second flash on Master, every recall tests your visual memory and your motor precision. WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE - 15 hand-tuned Basics shapes — circles, stars, infinity loops, hearts, spirals, more - Daily challenge: same shape worldwide every day, with a daily streak that builds across days - All six difficulties: Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard, Expert, Master - The full scoring breakdown — shape match, position match, scale match — shown after every round so you understand exactly why you scored what you did UNLOCK TRACE PRO ($2.99 ONE-TIME) - 106 more shapes across 7 categories: Nature, Animals, Faces, Zig-zags, Constellations, Symbols, and the full A–Z Alphabet - Streak mode: chain perfect recalls in a single run with a combo multiplier that grows up to 3x. Earn zero stars on any round and the run ends. - Future shape packs and game modes included at no extra cost HOW SCORING WORKS Three sub-scores combine into your final accuracy: how close your drawn curve is to the target shape, how close your stroke's centroid is to the original position on the canvas, and how close your bounding-box span is to the original scale. Faster recalls earn speed bonus points. Recalls completed in a single unbroken stroke earn an extra +100. Stars are awarded based on your total points, capped at three. DESIGNED FOR FOCUS - One-time purchase. No subscriptions. No ads. No third-party tracking. No analytics. - Plays entirely offline — only contacts Apple's StoreKit, and only when you initiate a purchase or restore. - Phone calls or notifications mid-round automatically pause the round timer so you don't lose progress to interruptions. - Full VoiceOver support across every screen. - Dark-mode native. PRIVACY Trace collects no personal data. Game progress is stored only on your device. Your finger drawings exist only in memory during a single round and are discarded as soon as the next round begins — they're never written to disk, transmitted, or shared. The complete privacy policy is linked from the in-app Settings screen. Built by an indie developer in Würzburg, Germany.

About

Pet Game

Read full description

Meet your new little companion. Pet Game is a cozy virtual pet you raise one moment at a time. Hatch an egg, name your pet, and care for it as it grows — feed it when it's hungry, clean up, play together, tuck it in to sleep, and nurse it back to health when it's under the weather. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Eternal — a gentle, open-ended life that unfolds over months across 25 stages of growth. No finish line; just a companion that's always there. • Ascension — a shorter, heartfelt journey of two to four weeks, your choice, with a real beginning, middle, and end. Every choice matters a little more. Mix and match: keep up to three pets at once, in either mode. RAISE, BOND, DISCOVER • Watch your pet evolve through distinct life stages. • Every pet hatches with its own colors and markings — some rare, shaped by how you care for it. • Play quick mini-games like Snack Catch and Star Patrol to lift its mood and earn little care boosts. • Keep an eye on hunger, happiness, energy, cleanliness and more — every pet has moods and needs of its own. • Build a collection of the companions you've raised. CALM BY DESIGN No timers shouting at you, no pressure, no punishment for stepping away. Pet Game is meant to be a soft, quiet corner of your day. COMPLETELY FREE — AND IT STAYS THAT WAY • No ads. • No in-app purchases. • No paywalls or subscriptions. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE • No account, no sign-up, no email. • No data collected — nothing leaves your device. • Works fully offline, anytime. Hatch your egg and meet the little one who's been waiting for you.
