One tap. Endless swing. Arclo is a one-tap arcade game about momentum. You pilot a tethered pair of orbs: tap to swap which orb anchors and which one swings, and sling yourself through a run of glowing gates while a rising void hunts you down. Nothing else to learn. Everything else to master. TWO PHYSICS MODES * Orbit: the pair whips around at constant spin. Pure rhythm and release timing. * Pendulum: gravity owns the swing. Build arcs, ride the fall, and time the swap at the top. Every tier plays completely differently in each mode, with separate progress and separate leaderboards. TEN TIERS OF TROUBLE Start with clean gates and an honest void. By the top tiers the course fights back: moving barriers, drifting hazards, tractor beams, gravity zones, spin-flips, fly-ins, and pulsing gaps. Tier 10 adds drifting debuffs that teleport you backward, shrink your tether, jitter the gates, and surge the void. POWER-UPS IN THE CHAOS Shields, freezes, wide gates, gate passes, and tether stretchers spawn mid-run. Snatch one without breaking your line and it might save the streak that saves your run. COMBO SCORING Every clean gate builds your streak and raises your multiplier. One miss resets it, and the void gets faster while you recover. Greed and safety are always arguing. ENDLESS CHALLENGE LEVELS Past level 25, raise the gate cap for longer, harder levels: more gates, more scoring chances, longer streaks. How deep you push is up to you. GAME CENTER LEADERBOARDS Every run posts to leaderboards for each mode, with a separate free-tier board so everyone competes from day one. ORIGINAL SYNTHWAVE SOUNDTRACK A full set of original tracks scores your runs, with separate menu and gameplay moods. The full unlock includes a soundtrack player so you can listen like a music app. FAIR AND SIMPLE Tiers 1 through 3 are free. A single one-time purchase unlocks tiers 4 through 10 forever. No subscription, no ads, no energy meters. Your progress syncs through iCloud. Thread the gates. Outrun the void.

Read full description

Tone Color Matching is an offline color matching puzzle game. Each level presents a target color, and your task is to recreate that color using Hue, Saturation, and Lightness sliders. HOW TO PLAY - Read the level brief: the target name and a short hint describing the color. - Study the target color preview (shown on levels 1-5). - Drag the Hue slider (0-360 degrees) to find the right color family. - Drag the Saturation slider (0-100%) to set color intensity. - Drag the Lightness slider (0-100%) to make the color darker or lighter. - Tap Submit to compare your color against the target. - Score is based on DeltaE, the scientific color difference metric. Lower DeltaE = higher score = more stars. 50 LEVELS OF COLOR Progress through 50 color matching levels organized into five themed sets. Each set introduces new colors and gradually removes the training wheels, until you are matching shades purely from memory. DIFFICULTY PROGRESSION - Levels 1-5: Target color preview shown. Memory hint shown. - Levels 6-10: Preview hidden, memory hint still shown. - Levels 11-50: No hints. Pure color memory challenge. - Difficulty scales 1-5 every 10 levels. - 30-second time limit per level. SCORING - Score is calculated from DeltaE (CIE color difference formula). - Lower DeltaE means a closer match and a higher score. - Stars awarded based on score thresholds (1-3 stars per level). - Best score per level stored locally. - Total stars tracked across all levels. - Level progression unlocks sequentially. COLOR SYSTEM - Hue: 0-360 degrees (red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta cycle). - Saturation: 0-100% (gray to full color). - Lightness: 0-100% (black to white, 50% = pure color). - Hex color shown in results for reference. - DeltaE: scientific metric for perceived color difference. FEATURES - 50 color matching levels across 5 themed sets. - HSL color matching with three sliders. - DeltaE-based scoring system. - Star ratings and best score tracking per level. - Guided tutorial for the first 5 levels. - Memory challenge: hints removed from level 11. - 30-second time limit per level. - Level select grid with sequential unlock. - Settings with Sound, Music, and Haptics toggles. - Fully offline. No ads, no IAP, no accounts, no tracking. - Portrait orientation, iPhone only. Tone Color Matching is a calm, atmospheric puzzle about training your eye to see subtle differences in hue, saturation, and lightness.
