Minimum Effort

You have a job. You do not want to do it. Minimum Effort is a satirical workplace strategy game. Every workday runs from 09:00 to 17:00, and everything you can do with those 480 minutes trades three things against each other: the time it saves you, the output it actually produces, and how conspicuous it makes you. The goal is not to be good at your job. It is to find the least amount of work that survives. HOW A DAY WORKS • Do the work, fake the work, or avoid it entirely. Looking busy covers part of a shortfall when the boss checks the deliverables. It never files the report. • The boss patrols the floor. When he walks past in the middle of something you get a couple of seconds to look busy . and less time the hotter you already are. • Repeat an act and it gets riskier every time. The fourth bathroom break is not the first bathroom break. • Colleagues talk. Each one has their own trust in you and their own doubts, and a rumour that crosses the floor twice reaches the boss's office from a direction you were not watching. THE PEOPLE Your accomplice will cover for you. The overachiever notices an unearned win. The snitch keeps a note of when people leave their desk. The gossip has already told two other people. You can chat, delegate your work, ask somebody to cover, genuinely help them . or put your name on their work, which they never forget. PROMOTIONS ARE A TRAP Every rung on the ladder pays more and expects more. Getting promoted is easy. Staying just competent enough not to be fired, one rung higher, with a bigger quota and the same amount of effort . that is the game. FIVE CAREERS - Corporate. Easy. Meetings, decks and a quarterly review nobody reads. - Startup. Chaotic. Twelve people, no structure, and everybody notices everything. - Consulting. Medium. Frameworks, workstreams, and never being the one with the answer. - Investment banking. Extreme. Enormous money, enormous work, and an associate who never leaves. - Home office. Nobody can see you and everything is measured. The green dot is your new boss and it cannot be charmed. Corporate and Startup are included. Consulting and Investment Banking are unlocked together by the Career Pack. Home Office is its own pack. Both are one purchase each, not a subscription, nothing recurring, and either one removes the advertising. THE ONLY SCORE THAT MATTERS Total money earned, divided by hours you actually worked. Retire at the top of a ladder having been paid for years and worked for weeks, and the number on your record board will say so. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No account and no sign-in. Your careers are saved on your device and nothing about them leaves it. It does show advertising, which Google's ad kit loads over the network, and either pack removes it. Minimum Effort is a work of satire. The offices, the colleagues and the careers are invented, and nothing in it is advice about a real job. Recommendations for our other apps load online.

Slide, match, and merge your way through a rainbow of colorful tiles! Rainbow Tile Slide is the classic 2048 puzzle game, reimagined with the warm, nostalgic look of classic arts and crafts: think construction paper and crayon shapes, brought to life in rainbow color, with a friendlier pace for players of all ages. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Standard: the classic challenge. A new tile drops every move, so think fast and chase big numbers. • Easy Breezy: a gentler pace, with five animated worlds that change from one game to the next. Tiles drop every other move, so there's room to breathe and plenty to notice while you play. FIVE LIVELY WORLDS Easy Breezy mode picks from five colorful backgrounds each time you play: a party, outer space, underwater, a rainforest, and the beach, each full of little animated surprises to discover while you play. A CELEBRATION WORTH REACHING Slide your way to a special tile and watch a big, glossy rainbow burst across the board. PLAY YOUR WAY Designed with accessibility in mind: swipe if that feels natural, or tap the on-screen D-pad if it doesn't. Every move works either way. We built and tested the whole game with VoiceOver, chose colors with real contrast in mind, and made sure nothing important is ever shown by color alone. It's a puzzle game we want more people to be able to play. CALM BY DESIGN Rainbow Tile Slide keeps things easy: soft sound effects, gentle animations, and not a flashing light in sight. A colorful puzzle that's actually relaxing to play. BUILT FOR FAMILIES Rainbow Tile Slide is free to play, ad-free, works without wifi, and designed to be safe and simple for kids. Track your top 3 scores in each mode. No timers, no pressure, just a colorful puzzle to come back to.
