Konpira
Read full descriptionHide full description
A traditional Japanese parlour game, played to the beat. Konpira Fune Fune is an ozashiki asobi — a banquet game from Kotohira, still played there today to the folk song of the same name. Two players take turns on the beat, reaching for a single cup or leaving it where it is. Misjudge whether it's there, and you lose. HOW TO PLAY • When the cup is on the table, take it — or leave it with an open hand • When you're holding it, keep it — or put it back • When your opponent has it, only a fist is safe: an open hand grabs at nothing • Hold the cup too many turns in a row, or miss your beat, and you lose • The longer you last, the faster the beat WAYS TO PLAY • Tabletop — lay an iPad or an unfolded iPhone Duo flat between you and sit across from each other. One table, one cup. • Bluetooth Battle — two iPhones, face to face. No internet needed. • Play vs Watch — one player on Apple Watch, one on the paired iPhone. • Solo — 15 levels, plus an endless mode on Easy, Normal or Hard. • How to Play — a short tutorial on the real board. No clock, no penalty. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Stand it half-open like a laptop, and your opponent appears on the upper screen, sitting across the table from you. NO SIGNAL, NO ADS The idea came on a flight, so every mode plays offline. There are no ads, and every skin can be earned just by playing. In English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Swedish.

Make a squishy, watch it form, then squeeze, poke, stretch and jiggle it as long as you like. Every material has its own calm ASMR sound. No ads. No coins. No tricks. Just squishies. Made by Arden and her dad, in Georgia. Arden plays every version first, and a lot of what's in here started as something she asked for. Make one that's yours. Pick a shape, a color, a finish and what floats inside, from a plain jelly orb to something patterned, pearly or see-through. Play with it. Twenty-three ways to touch it. Flick it into a flip, slow it down, freeze it solid and crack the ice. Open it up. Cut it open to see what's inside, then let the slime out and play with that too. A gift every week. A new squishy arrives each week, and every player starts with a World Treat: Dubai Chocolate, New York Cheesecake, Manila Ube Halo-Halo, Paris Macaron or Java Klepon. Collect and trade. Fill your shelf, finish sets, find hidden recipes, and trade with a cast of shopkeepers (computer characters, never other players) for the rare ones. Send one to a friend as a link, a card or a short video. The link carries only the recipe. For grown-ups: it works fully offline, with no accounts, no chat and no ads. One optional purchase, Squishy Deluxe, adds more to collect. It sits behind a grown-ups gate, is handled by Apple and never expires. Privacy policy: buildasquishy.com/app-privacy
