Best Hit&Blow Ever vs Mind Cipher

Guess the line-up of planets. 8 tries. A hidden code of planets is waiting. Pick a planet for each slot, submit, and the only thing you get back is a row of stars. Everything else you work out yourself. HOW THE STARS WORK • A filled star means one planet is in the right place • An outlined star means one planet is in the code but somewhere else • The stars never tell you which planet they refer to That last point is the whole game. Two stars can mean several different things, and narrowing it down is the work. 3 SIZES OF PROBLEM • Easy — 5 planets, 3 slots • Medium — 6 planets, 4 slots • Hard — 7 planets, 5 slots 8 guesses on all three. There is also a switch for repeats: turn it on and the same planet can appear more than once in the code, which takes away the assumption most people lean on without noticing. 7 PLANETS Mars, Neptune, Earth, Saturn, Pluto, Jupiter and Uranus. 16 ACHIEVEMENTS Clear your first game, then 10, then 100. Clear every difficulty. Solve in 4 guesses, then in 3. Beat the clock — under 45 seconds on Easy, 75 on Medium, 120 on Hard. Win with repeats turned on. Beat your own best time. IF COLORS ARE HARD TO TELL APART Each planet can carry its own shape — triangle, square, diamond, star, hexagon, pentagon, drop — so you never have to rely on color. The illustrated how-to updates the moment you switch it on, so you learn the game the way you are going to play it. LEARN IT IN 8 PAGES The how-to walks through a real board: what a hit looks like, what a blow looks like, and a worked example with the counts explained. The figures are drawn with the same pieces the game uses and the counts come from the same rules, so what you see there is what you get in play. WHAT THE APP REMEMBERS Every clear is kept with its difficulty, time and number of guesses. Your best time for each difficulty and your total number of clears are shown in Settings, and the full list is there too. A NUDGE EACH MORNING An optional reminder at 8:00. Turn it off with one tap. NO ACCOUNT No sign-in, no sync service, no server. Your records are stored on your device. ALREADY PLAYING? Your clear history carries over untouched, and achievements unlock retroactively from games you have already won — so if you have cleared thirty, several unlock the first time you open this version. The app is free and shows a banner ad. A full-screen ad appears when you leave a result screen, though not every time.

Mind Cipher is a Mastermind-style code-breaking game — Bulls and Cows, Hit and Blow, played with colors — filed as a spy dossier. Crack the hidden color code from ink marks: a filled dot is exact, a ring is the right color in the wrong slot, a dash is not in the code. The marks never rely on color, and an optional Shape Marks setting gives every peg its own outline. Then open the Lie file. Exactly one report in the round is fake. The rest are true. Cross-check the reports, find the contradiction, and crack the code anyway. Classic cases teach the real marks: 240 cases from beginner to master. Lie cases run a matching 240 where one clue always lies. Today's Case is a new puzzle every day, with Top Secret lie days and a home-screen widget. Duel Mode is pass-and-play: one sets the code, the other breaks it. Notes sit on the board so you can mark eliminated and confirmed colors. Informants (hints) are recruited by closing cases. Every closed case ends with a stamped report you can share. No ads. No account. Free to start: Today's Case, Duel, Classic 1–40, and Lie 1–80. Pro is a one-time $2.99 unlock for the rest of both files, Free Play, and the custom editor. The app follows your language, or you can set it in Settings: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, العربية, Deutsch, Français, עברית, Português, Türkçe. Share your case with a friend. On iPhone, they can accept the challenge with App Clip, without installing the full app.
