About

QuantumOrb

Features
Read full description

Reality isn't broken - it just follows different rules! A mysterious cosmic event interrupts a scientist's experiment, tearing open a bridge to an unknown Quantum World. To survive in this impossible realm, his physical body is transformed into a tiny, transparent quantum orb - the only form stable enough to exist there. Imagine the familiar idea of a higher-dimensional being entering our 3-dimensional world. Now reverse it. A human consciousness has fallen into a reality it was never meant to perceive. Space twists, paths overlap and directions lose their meaning. What looks like a simple maze is actually a world your brain cannot fully understand. Guide the scientist, now trapped inside his fragile quantum form, through surreal labyrinths, avoid dangerous anomalies, and solve puzzles that challenge your perception. Every level brings him one step closer to escaping the Quantum World and returning home. Features • Control a transparent quantum orb through mysterious mazes. • Explore worlds with impossible geometry and shifting perspectives. • Solve clever puzzles inspired by quantum concepts. • Atmospheric minimalist visuals and immersive sound. • Easy controls with increasingly challenging gameplay. • Help the scientist find the path back to reality. Can you escape a world that obeys laws beyond human understanding?

About

Gyre

Features
Read full description

Six coloured rings stand between your marker and the compass in the middle. Turn the rings until the gaps line up, roll the marker through, and find the shortest way out. 64 mazes, on iPhone and Apple Watch. HOW TO PLAY Swipe anywhere on the maze to turn the selected ring. Tap a coloured thumb under the board to pick another ring. Swipe the marker up or down and it rolls along the top lane, as far as the open gaps let it. READ THE DOTS Several rings can cover the same wall. The dots on the centre line show which rings still block the way. When a ring turns green, the path is open. Line up the gaps first, then move. EVERY MAZE IS FAIR No luck, no dead ends. A solver checks every maze before it ships, so there is always a way through, and par is the fewest moves possible. Replay a level and you get the same maze, so you can learn it and beat your own best. THREE STARS PER LEVEL Finish at or under par for three stars. One star unlocks the next maze, so you can keep going now and come back for a better route later. 64 mazes: two short tutorials, then sixty-two that get harder step by step. ON YOUR WRIST Gyre also runs on Apple Watch, no iPhone needed. Turn the rings with the Digital Crown and swipe to move the marker. Your stars sync both ways, so a maze you beat on the watch counts on the phone too. Levels 1-8 are free on the watch; one purchase unlocks the rest. MADE FOR QUIET MOMENTS - Works offline - No account, no sign-up - Light theme by day, dark theme at night - Pick your marker style and size, and how big the wall dots are - Sound, haptics and motion cues can all be turned off - No energy, no timers, no move limits FREE TO PLAY On iPhone, Gyre is free with a small banner ad. One purchase removes the ad for good. The only other purchase is the watch level pack. Level 1 is waiting. Start turning.
