About

Pen Fight Ledge

Read full description

Two pens. One ledge. Whoever goes over the edge loses. Everyone who sat through a slow afternoon at the back of a classroom already knows how this works. Pen Fight Ledge takes the last-bench desk game and puts it somewhere with a longer drop. FLICK LIKE YOU MEAN IT Drag back anywhere and let go. Where you touch the pen matters: catch it near the end and it pivots away, drive through the middle and it goes straight. Every pen is a rigid body on a real surface, so a glancing hit spins, a square hit shoves, and a pen sliding across wet moss behaves differently from one on dry granite. NINE PENS, ALL DIFFERENT The heavy triangular one refuses to be moved and refuses to roll. The light translucent one travels forever and dies just as easily. The woodgrain one splits the difference. Weight, grip and glide are modelled per pen, so picking one is a real decision rather than a skin. FOUR ARENAS, NEVER THE SAME TWICE A Himalayan granite ledge, a lava caldera, a monsoon rooftop, an ice field. The rock, the outline, the hazards and the weather are generated fresh for every match, the plateau you are standing on has never existed before and will not exist again. THE LEDGE CLOSES IN Stall too long and the rock starts crumbling inward, taking away the room you were relying on. Nobody gets to play for a draw. A RIVAL THAT PLAYS CLEAN It cannot knock you out on its opening flick, and it will not throw its own pen off the edge to reach yours. It searches thousands of real shots before it commits to one, so when it beats you it beat you fairly. No accounts. No ads. No in-app purchases. No internet, the whole game is on your device and works on a plane, in a basement, in a classroom. Made in India by studio 4by5.

About

Tether Arcade

Read full description

Tether is a one-touch arcade game. No account, no sign-in, no in-app purchases and no ads. It works fully offline. HOW TO PLAY Hold anywhere to hook the nearest anchor and swing around it. Release to fly off along the tangent, then hold again to catch the next one. There is no brake and no undo - just how far you get before the wipeout. SKIM THE SAWS Saws sit between the anchors. Cutting close to one without touching it stacks your multiplier, so the tighter your line, the faster the score climbs. Play it safe and you score slowly. Play it greedy and you score fast. DAY STREAK Come back on consecutive days and your streak raises the score floor you start every run from. SKINS New looks unlock as your best score climbs, from the first at 60 all the way to 1500. SHARE Every run ends with a card of your score, ready to share. LANGUAGES The game reads the device language at launch and shows its text in whichever of its thirteen supported languages matches: English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, French, Bengali, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Thai. Any other language falls back to English.
