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

Artangle

Features
Read full description

Artangle is a calm arrow puzzle with a secret: there is a picture hiding under every tangle. Tap an arrow and it slides out the way it points. It only escapes if nothing is in its way, so the order matters. Bump into another arrow and you lose a heart. Clear the whole board and you have uncovered a piece of pixel art, one arrow at a time. WHAT IS DIFFERENT • Every puzzle hides a picture. Each arrow you slide out peels away to show the pixels underneath, so you watch a fox, a rocket or a donut appear as you solve. • A gallery to fill. 100 hand-drawn pictures in twelve themed packs, with up to three stars each for a flawless solve. • Endless wild Pixlings. After the hand-drawn journey, every new level hides a freshly generated creature with its own name. No two are alike. • The Daily Pixling. One new creature puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Keep your streak going and share your time. • Gift a puzzle. Pick a picture you have found, add a short note such as "Happy Birthday!" and send it. Your friend untangles it in their browser and the picture and note appear at the end. They do not need the app. HOW IT PLAYS • No timers in the journey. Three hearts per puzzle, free restarts, and hints when you are stuck. • Every puzzle is guaranteed solvable. • Coins are earned by playing and spent on hints and six board themes, including Midnight, Blueprint and Candy. • Gentle sound and haptic feedback on every slide, bump and reveal. FAIR AND PRIVATE • No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. No tracking. • Plays fully offline. Your progress stays on your device.
