Shimau
Read full descriptionHide full description
Open a messy drawer. Sort it. Feel it click. Shimau is a sorting puzzle about putting things where they belong. Drag each item into the tray it came from, and watch the whole tray settle with a snap you can feel in your hand. ā MADE TO BE FELT ā Every item has its own weight. Paper slides, metal taps, rubber gives. Each material carries its own haptic pattern, so the drawer answers back under your thumb. Headphones and haptics on is the way to play. ā NO WORDS ANYWHERE ā No tutorial text, no pop-ups explaining things. You will understand the first puzzle in about four seconds. ā THE DRAWER WAITS ā Nothing counts down. Leave a tray half sorted and come back tomorrow; it will be exactly where you left it. ā EVERY LEVEL IS CHECKED ā All 200 levels are verified by our own solver before they ship, so there is no dead end and nothing you cannot finish. ā A ROOM THAT GETS BETTER ā Every level you finish tidies the room a little more. Keep going and watch it transform, one reveal at a time. ā COME BACK TOMORROW ā Everyone gets the same fresh board each morning. Keep your streak and collect tickets for free hints. Shimau is free. Ads pay for it. Nothing inside it is for sale.

Your finger is the throttle. Trace the racing line with your finger and your car runs exactly what you drew ā every hesitation, every corner you took too fast. Move quickly and it goes quickly. Slow down before a corner and it brakes. Carry too much speed in and the tail steps out, you scrub the wall, and the clock punishes you for it. That is the whole game. It takes ten seconds to understand and a long time to be good at. WHAT YOU GET Ā· 32 tracks across 8 championships ā Germany, England, Japan, Spain, France, Italy, the United States and Australia Ā· Six cars that are genuinely different: one is fast and demanding, one forgives your mistakes, one carries corner speed, one has a longer boost, one brakes deep into the corner, and one you build yourself Ā· Three target times on every track. Beat each one for one more star, and stars open the next championship Ā· Your best lap comes back as a black ghost car. Beating yourself is the point Ā· A different track every single day Ā· RANKED: race three real players at once. Not bots ā their actual saved laps, with their name and their flag, on a track drawn at random from the ones you have open. Win and you climb the six divisions, from Rookie to Legend. Opens at 20 stars Ā· Pass & Play for up to four friends on one phone BUILT TO BE FAIR The physics runs at a fixed step, so the same line gives you exactly the same time on a cheap phone and on the newest one. Your records mean something. NO NONSENSE No account. No sign-up. Works with the plane in flight mode. Your records never leave your device unless you switch the online leaderboards on.
