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.

Coloured rubber bands are stretched round pegs, all tangled up. Tap one peg, tap another, and they swap places. Keep swapping until no two bands cross and every loop springs free. LoopLoose is a calm, juicy untangle puzzle. Every stage is built backwards from a solved board, so it always has a solution, and a solver works out par: the fewest swaps it can find. Match par for three stars, or beat it on the biggest boards if you can. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a peg, then another, to swap them • Sparks show where bands cross. Clear every spark • Fewer swaps earn more stars • Stuck? Reshuffle deals the stage again with a fresh look WHAT'S INSIDE • 250 stages across 8 worlds, from a sunny breeze to a midnight sky • Boards that grow from two little loops to 36 pegs • 24 themes to unlock with stars: gumdrops and licorice, mushrooms and roots, neon switches, crackling power lines, planets in orbit, crown jewels and more • Holiday themes for everyone: lanterns for Lunar New Year, hearts on Valentine's Day, skulls and bones at Halloween, pies at Thanksgiving, candy canes at Christmas, mirror balls on New Year's Eve and more • 35 badges to earn, from Hat Trick to Perfect Ten.
