About

Bar Sort

Features
Read full description

Bar Sort is an addictive color sorting puzzle game that is as relaxing as it is challenging. If you love games that test your logic but don't stress you out, this is the perfect game for you. The goal is simple: sort the colored bars into the tubes until each tube holds only one color and all bars of the same color are in the same tube. It sounds easy, but you'll need to plan your moves carefully to solve increasingly complex patterns.

About

Look This Way!

Features
Read full description

Look This Way! is a logic puzzle about figuring out where a group of cute ghosts should face. On numbered ghosts, the number basically tells you how many other ghosts are looking at that ghost. Tap to rotate a ghost by 90 degrees, or flick to choose a direction directly. Adjust every ghost until all numbers and special conditions are satisfied. The game begins with a tiny 2ร—2 tutorial, then spends plenty of time on approachable 3ร—3 boards before gradually introducing 4ร—4 and 5ร—5 puzzles. There are 2,000 puzzles in total, but the game is designed to be enjoyed one puzzle at a time rather than rushed through. As you progress, new special ghosts and rules are unlocked little by little. Some change how far a gaze travels, some change what is counted, and others link the conditions of two ghosts. New ideas are introduced gradually so you can learn each one before the combinations become more involved. Use a note when you want to remember a possible direction. You can undo one move at a time or restart a puzzle from the beginning. If you get stuck, you can watch an ad to reveal the correct direction of one ghost as a hint. First-time clears also help grow the Ghost Room. New ghosts, furniture, and little sparkles appear as you keep solving, giving you something to come back and see between puzzles. The game is free to play and includes ads. There are no in-app purchases, and no login is required.
