Think you're sharp? Prove it. CipherBreaker is a pure deduction game with zero luck involved. Every code can be cracked by logic alone — if you're good enough. Read the clues, eliminate the impossible, and close in on the answer one calculated guess at a time. This isn't another match-three with a brain-game label slapped on it. It's the real thing: a test of reasoning that rewards how you think, not how lucky you are. WHY CIPHERBREAKER - Pure logic, zero luck — every puzzle is solvable by deduction alone - Case Files — seven investigations: work the scene for evidence, then deduce the Final Code - 7 distinct modes — from gentle warm-ups to brutal challenges that will humble you - Daily Challenge — one shared puzzle a day, build your streak, prove your consistency - Sharpen up against AI opponents that push you to think faster and cleaner - A clean, focused design that gets out of your way and lets you think HOW IT WORKS Crack a hidden code using feedback after each guess. Sounds simple. It isn't. The best players don't guess more — they guess smarter, turning every clue into the next deduction. Master the logic and the codes fall fast. Get sloppy and they'll bury you. CASE FILES Chapter 1, FIRST SHIFT: seven cases on one night floor, and nobody else is awake. Every stage you solve recovers a piece of evidence, and the clues you earn are what let you deduce the case's Final Code. Miss a stage and that lead goes cold — you close the case with less to go on. Stars, XP and tokens per case, and a Detective Rank that climbs from Rookie to Master Cipherbreaker. FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO THINK If you love logic puzzles, number games, code-breaking, or anything that makes your brain actually work, CipherBreaker was built for you. No filler. No fluff. Just deduction, sharpened to a point. Can you crack every code — or will the code crack you? Download CipherBreaker and find out how sharp you really are.

About

Flying Penguin

Read full description

Learn maths while flying through a fast and playful arctic adventure. You are a flying penguin, and every second a new set of five rings appears ahead of you. Your challenge is to solve the question and fly through the ring with the correct answer. But stay sharp: the correct answer is not always there. Sometimes the smartest move is to dive into the water and swim underneath all the rings. LEARN WHILE YOU PLAY Choose what you want to practise: • addition • subtraction • multiplication • division • percentages • mixed questions Pick the type of questions you want to practise and choose a level that matches your ability. FIND THE RIGHT WAY THROUGH Each new question gives you five rings to choose from. If one of them shows the correct answer, fly through it. If the correct answer is missing, dive into the water and pass safely underneath. A wrong choice costs you a life, so look carefully before you make your move. KNOW THE ANSWER? GO FASTER Already know the answer? Tap the correct ring as soon as you spot it and your penguin will speed towards it, flying through at twice the normal speed. React quickly and you will also earn double points for that answer. It adds an extra challenge for players who want to combine accurate maths with quick thinking. CHOOSE YOUR OWN LEVEL Practise at a difficulty that suits you. Start with easier calculations and gradually move on to more challenging levels as your maths skills improve. You decide what to practise and how difficult you want the questions to be. UNLOCK NEW CHARACTERS Collect points while you play and use them to unlock new penguin characters. Keep improving your score, discover new characters, and build your collection as you progress. FOR DIFFERENT AGES AND ABILITIES • Ages 5–8: practise addition and subtraction • Ages 9–11: improve times tables and multiplication • Ages 12+: work on division, percentages, and mixed questions Whether you are learning the basics or looking for a faster challenge, Flying Penguin turns maths practice into an active game. FLY, DIVE, AND IMPROVE Solve the question, choose the right ring, dive when there is no correct answer, and react quickly to earn double points. Keep flying, keep practising, unlock new characters, and become faster and more confident at maths.
