Pen Fight Ledge

Features
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

Rickety

Features
Read full description

Rickety is a one-thumb stacking game about nerve. Tap STACK when the stack is straight. Tap while it sways, and the block lands off to one side. Let the weight hang past an edge, and the stack tips. You get one short moment to push it back. There is no end. You choose when to stop. Lock in to keep your height, or stack one more block and risk everything. Fall, and the run counts for nothing. CLIMB THE WORLD Every flag in the sky is a real player at their best height. Your own flag starts on the ground every run and climbs past them. Only locked-in runs count on the world leaderboard. PASS REAL LANDMARKS One block is four meters. Climb past the Great Sphinx, a Dutch windmill, the Malwiya Minaret, the Taj Mahal, the Statue of Liberty, the Space Needle, the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, and Burj Khalifa. Each one you pass earns a set of blocks and a Game Center achievement. READ THE SWAY The stack swings like a real tower. Tall stacks swing wider. Wait too long, and it tips. A crooked block makes it lean. Flush landings in a row play rising notes and count on their own leaderboard. LEARN AS YOU PLAY No tutorial screens. The game teaches each rule the first time it matters, with one short hint. Rickety has no ads and nothing to buy. Game Center is optional, but you need it to be on the world leaderboard.
