Remember the glow? Sisters' Magic Square brings back the mesmerizing 3×3 light puzzle from a legendary 1978 handheld electronic game; the one you played under the covers, chasing one last solve. It's all here: nine glowing red buttons, buzzy retro beeps, and the little thrill when the square finally lights up. HOW TO PLAY Tap a button and watch a cluster of lights flip on and off. Corners, edges, and the center each change a different pattern. Your goal: light up all eight outer buttons and leave the center dark. Simple to learn, wonderfully tricky to master. FEATURES • Authentic rules from the original 1978 puzzle • Warm, glowing red lights on a moody retro console • Vintage square-wave sounds — each button has its own tone • A triumphant victory lap: the lights race around the ring when you win • Gentle haptics on every press • Looks beautiful on iPhone and iPad • Fully playable with VoiceOver and other accessibility features • No ads. No tracking. No accounts. FREE TO PLAY Sisters' Magic Square is completely free.If it brings back good memories, there's an optional tip jar to say thanks — but it unlocks nothing and you never need it. The whole game is yours, free, forever. Light the ring. Leave the center dark. Enjoy the glow.

About

FruitDrum

A quick game for your spare moments, and a straight test of how fast your fingers really are. Fruit rolls in row after row. Clear it before the clock runs out. Every correct tap buys you time; a wrong tap, or letting any row overflow, ends the run. The longer you last the faster the fruit comes, so how far you get is down to nothing but finger speed and focus. How to play - Fruit fills four rows. Tap the matching button below. - The higher your combo, the higher your score multiplier, up to three times. - Bombs appear from time to time and clear half a row. Well timed, one can save the run. - Boss rounds arrive on a timer. Tap the marked button as fast as you can for bonus points and time. Finger techniques Start at the Qi Gathering Finger and climb through Foundation, Golden, Genesis, Soul Sever and Void, all the way to the Immortal Finger. Every rank has sub-levels and there is no ceiling, so there is always a next one to chase. Also - Thai, English and Chinese, switchable at any time - Close the app and pick up the same run later - One hand, portrait, ready whenever you have a minute
