One player says a word. The app plays it backwards. Everyone else copies the gibberish — and when the app flips their attempts back, the word comes out again, in their voices. When it lands, it's uncanny. When it doesn't — which is most of the time at first — it's much funnier. HOW A ROUND WORKS 1. One player says a word out loud. Nobody else sees it. 2. The app reverses it. The others hear only gibberish, slowed down and looped. 3. One by one, they copy that gibberish as closely as they can. 4. The app reverses every attempt. You listen together — and the phone scores how close each one came. ONE PHONE, UP TO SIX PLAYERS No accounts, no second device, no turn timers. Everyone gets a silly name — Suspicious Potato — or types their own. CHALLENGES: PLAY SOLO No one around? Crack backwards words on your own. Hear a word reversed, copy it, flip your copy back to check, then type the answer. 16 categories — animals, food, movies, slang, mild swears, fairy tales — with themed packs, and new ones arrive without an app update. Separate English and Ukrainian word lists, not translations. Only a wrong answer costs one of your 3 lives; listening and recording are always free. NEW: THE DAILY WORD One new backwards word every day, the same for everyone, free and with no lives to lose. Keep your streak going — and on the free plan, solving it adds a life and a party round. WHO GOT CLOSEST The phone scores every attempt — how close it sounds to the original, as a percentage — and crowns the closest. It listens to sound, not meaning, so arguing with it is part of the game. YOU CANNOT CHEAT IT The prompt is silenced while a copy is recording. Otherwise the reveal would just replay the speaker's voice. SHARE THE DISASTERS Any round exports as one video — the word, the word reversed, then every attempt flipped back, the winner saved for last. EVERY ROUND, SAVED Rounds save to your history with every voice. Replay the best fails, favourite them, or play them back as a robot, a chipmunk or a monster. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No account and no sign-up. Recordings stay on your device and videos are put together on the phone. The app downloads new packs and Daily words from our server and sends anonymous counts and your Challenges progress under a random code it makes itself. Anonymous usage statistics go to Google Firebase Analytics — never your recordings, words or names, never used for ads. The app asks first in the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the UK and Switzerland, or if it can't tell the country; anyone can turn sharing off in Settings. Ads (AdMob) load only when you pick one for a bonus. Labelling rounds with the word is optional and uses Apple's speech recognition. FREE TO PLAY 5 party rounds free, refilling every 4 hours, however many play. Replays, retakes, labels and sharing never cost a round. In Challenges, 4 categories are free, with 3 lives that all come back 4 hours after the last one goes. Run out early? Watch a short ad for a bonus round, a life or a hint — only if you want to. BACKTALK PREMIUM • Unlimited party rounds and Challenges lives • Every Challenges category and pack, with a hint on every level • Every voice for your replays • Keep rounds for 30 days or forever • Your choice of app icon • Never any ads Start with one syllable.

A game for two, side by side: for people sitting in the same room. One phone between you, or two over a local connection. Each player has their own strip of coloured sectors. You colour it in secret: your opponent sees neither the colours nor where your piece stands. A move is simple: your opponent says a colour out loud, and you move your piece to the nearest sector of that colour. Sometimes forward, sometimes back. The first to reach the finish wins. The whole trick is in the colouring. Lay the colours out cleverly, and the other player's calls will carry you forward. Then try to throw your opponent back by guessing how they coloured theirs. What's inside: • Strips of 10 to 26 sectors, a palette of up to 13 colours • A strip editor: colour it yourself or tap Random, and the check tells you at once what is wrong • Ten pieces and three shapes of track • Match settings: a ban on repeating colours and a round limit • Dispute a move and take it back when your opponent taps the wrong colour • A take-back reveals one sector of the other strip, and everything revealed is collected on a map • The reveal screen: at the end you see the whole of their strip • Eight languages: English, Russian, Ukrainian, Italian, Spanish, German, French, Slovenian The Bomb add-on, one purchase and yours for good: • Bomb mode: no finish line, and whoever steps on a bomb has lost • A fourth shape of track, Scales • Ads disappear for good The Full Moon add-on, one purchase and yours for good: • Full Moon mode: every third round the piece goes not to the nearest sector of the called colour but to the farthest one • Two new pieces: Pumpkin and Ghost • A night theme: a moonlit sky behind every screen • A Halloween background tune • Ads disappear for good No internet, no account, no sign-up. Your voice is part of the rules too: colours are said out loud, and the app keeps an eye on the strips and the moves.
