About

Prism Breakout

Features
Read full description

Prism Breakout is an original neon-arcade game built for one-handed landscape play on iPhone. A paddle and a glowing energy ball sit below; above, a wall of interlocking four-cell pieces descends. Clear the wall before it reaches the line. Hit a piece dead-on to break it. Match your ball's color to a piece for bonus points, chain clears to build combos, and land high-scoring critical hits. Catch power-ups to change your run โ€” widen the paddle, speed up the ball, split into multiball, and more. HOW TO PLAY - Move the paddle to keep the energy ball in play and aim your bounces. - Tap anywhere to launch; the paddle follows your touch. - Break whole pieces with direct hits, and don't let the wall reach the danger line. - Match the ball's color to a piece to score more, and chain clears for combos. POWER-UPS - Wide Paddle โ€” a wider paddle that's easier to rally with. - Fast Ball โ€” a quicker, higher-pressure ball. - Double Score โ€” points count double while it's active. - Big Ball โ€” a larger ball that clears more. - Multiball โ€” several balls in play at once. - Shield โ€” a safety barrier below the paddle. - Laser Paddle โ€” fire from your paddle to break pieces. - Extra Life โ€” one more life. MAKE IT YOURS Unlock and equip cosmetics โ€” ball skins, avatars, ball effects, and animated backgrounds โ€” and choose your soundtrack from a selection of original music tracks. OPTIONAL WORLD LEADERBOARD Play the whole game without creating an account.

About

Tactico Grids

Features
Read full description

Tactico is tic-tac-toe with pressure! Each player can only keep three marks on the board. Place a fourth, and your oldest mark disappears before the new move is checked. That simple rule changes everything: safe squares open again, old traps vanish, and every round becomes a quick fight for position. Then the clock gets involved. Every turn has a hard time limit. Move quickly, or lose the round on the spot. Set the turn length, choose best of 3 or best of 5, then play a match in just a few minutes. Play against the CPU, or place your iPhone or iPad on a table and play pass-and-play with a friend. Tactico is built to feel quick, clean, and a little bit retro: neon visuals, upbeat 80s-style music, simple sound effects, and no clutter. Features: - Fast tactical matches - Only three marks per player - Oldest mark clears when a new one is placed - Adjustable turn timer - Best-of-3 and best-of-5 matches - Play against the CPU - Pass-and-play with a friend - Portrait and landscape support on iPad - Music and sound effects can be turned off - No ads - No in-app purchases - No accounts - No tracking - No data collection Download, tap Play, and see how long you can keep track of what is about to disappear.
