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 โ€” 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 โ€ข Pipsi โ€” small, fast, deeply annoying. Your warm-up. โ€ข Turbo Bublik โ€” a loaf with a motor. Out-shout him; you won't out-pace him. โ€ข DJ Havkins โ€” reads the room and adapts fastest. โ€ข Baron von Gavstein โ€” old money, enormous lungs. Beat him on speed. โ€ข MEGAHAV โ€” 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

Rave Grid Runner

Features
Read full description

A raver is looking for a party in a world made of sound systems. Speakers stack to the ceiling, lasers never stop, and the only way through is forward. Rave Grid Runner is an endless runner that moves on the beat. Swipe left and right between three lanes, swipe up to jump, swipe down to slide under the light rigs. The corridor throws parade trucks, gantries, tunnels, and oncoming carts at you, and it gets faster the longer you stay on your feet. Run along a club facade, and you flip off it for a fat bonus. Buildings fly by in the dark, and the ones you can run up are worth the most. Grab the hoverboard, the magnet or the neon wing when they come past, and pick your raver from a cast of seven. - Three lanes, four moves, straight into the run - Wall saltos off club facades, worth three times an ordinary one - Seven ravers, each with their own outfit - Hoverboard, magnet and wing power-ups - Music and sound effects each have their own switch, and you can pause at any time - No account, no ads, no purchases, and it works with the phone in flight mode
