About

Barkoff

Features
Read full description

Five bosses. Ten seconds each. One microphone. Barkoff is a single-player boss ladder for your voice. Each fight lasts eight to ten seconds and is scored on two things: how FAST you bark and how LOUD. Speed counts for more — anyone can shout, but holding two barks a second while a dog barks back is another matter. WHAT MAKES IT HARD Volume alone will not carry you. The meter weighs your bark rate above your volume, so a fight is a rhythm test with a loudness floor. Each boss denies you one of the two axes and dares you to win the other. THE FIVE • Pipsi — small, fast, deeply annoying. Your warm-up. • Turbo Bublik — a loaf with a motor. Out-shout him; you won't out-pace him. • DJ Havkins — reads the room and adapts fastest. • Baron von Gavstein — old money, enormous lungs. Beat him on speed. • MEGAHAV — fast and loud. Good luck. Each stays locked until you beat the one before it. Medals record how convincingly you won. NO SPEECH RECOGNITION The app measures two numbers: how far a sound sits above the noise in your room, and how long it lasts. It cannot tell what you are saying and does not care what language you speak. SINGLE PLAYER, NO NETWORK No accounts, no leaderboards, no online opponents, and no network requests of any kind. Everything runs on your phone. PRIVACY The microphone is analysed live on device and discarded. Nothing is recorded, stored or transmitted. Ten seconds a fight. Your neighbours will still hear it.

About

Pen Fight Ledge

Features
Read full description

Two pens. One ledge. Whoever goes over the edge loses. Everyone who sat through a slow afternoon at the back of a classroom already knows how this works. Pen Fight Ledge takes the last-bench desk game and puts it somewhere with a longer drop. FLICK LIKE YOU MEAN IT Drag back anywhere and let go. Where you touch the pen matters: catch it near the end and it pivots away, drive through the middle and it goes straight. Every pen is a rigid body on a real surface, so a glancing hit spins, a square hit shoves, and a pen sliding across wet moss behaves differently from one on dry granite. NINE PENS, ALL DIFFERENT The heavy triangular one refuses to be moved and refuses to roll. The light translucent one travels forever and dies just as easily. The woodgrain one splits the difference. Weight, grip and glide are modelled per pen, so picking one is a real decision rather than a skin. FOUR ARENAS, NEVER THE SAME TWICE A Himalayan granite ledge, a lava caldera, a monsoon rooftop, an ice field. The rock, the outline, the hazards and the weather are generated fresh for every match, the plateau you are standing on has never existed before and will not exist again. THE LEDGE CLOSES IN Stall too long and the rock starts crumbling inward, taking away the room you were relying on. Nobody gets to play for a draw. A RIVAL THAT PLAYS CLEAN It cannot knock you out on its opening flick, and it will not throw its own pen off the edge to reach yours. It searches thousands of real shots before it commits to one, so when it beats you it beat you fairly. No accounts. No ads. No in-app purchases. No internet, the whole game is on your device and works on a plane, in a basement, in a classroom. Made in India by studio 4by5.
