Spark Leap
Read full descriptionHide full description
A discharge starts at the socket with zero charge. Every step, it looks for the nearest unburned conductor inside its reach and leaps there โ and then that coin burns away, so the next step is measured on a board that just changed. You never draw the route. You place coins, change the geometry, and the route works itself out. Your job is to arrange the tray so the arc lights every fruit coin, builds the charge the vault asks for, and finally leaps into the vault capacitor. โข 100 hand-shaped levels across five substations, each with its own twist to the machine โ generous reach and nothing else in Copper Yard, compulsory fruit and charge quotas in Fruit Line, short reach and superconductors in Storm Deck, queue-jumping lightning rods and paired twin coins in Rod Field, and a cruel 6ร6 plate with a one-coin tray in The Vault โข Every level is verified by a built-in solver before it is handed to you, so an unsolvable puzzle cannot exist โ and Par, the second star, is the smallest winning arrangement that solver could find โข Ties between equally distant conductors always break clockwise from North, so the same arrangement produces the same arc on every device, every time โข A kit of four tools on every plate, refilled for every level and never sold: Probe traces the first leaps, Dry Run walks the whole route as a ghost without burning anything, Spare Coin adds a coin at the cost of the third star, Snuffer lifts a bolted coin off the board โข No shop, no currency to hoard, no daily chores โ just the puzzles, in order, whenever you feel like them โข Coin and arc finishes unlocked with stars alone โ never money, never chance โข No lives, no failure state: if the arc gutters out, everything snaps back and you simply try again โข Ten badges, a full log book, colourblind marks and a slow-arc mode for reading a route step by step โข Completely offline. No ads, no in-app purchases, no accounts, no data collection The Surge bar at the top is a bonus and never a threat โ beat it for extra sparks, miss it and the bar just goes dark while you keep thinking. This is a game about working it out, not about hurrying. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Copperhead Shift
Read full descriptionHide full description
Coins hit the belt fast. You have two bins, one chute, and about a second to decide. Sort by the rule on screen: gold only, silver only, whatever the shift calls for. Wrong bin costs a life. Fake coins go in the chute. Real coins in the wrong chute also cost a life. Hold a coin instead of sorting it and its value climbs the longer you wait. Let go too late and the coin falls anyway. That's the whole risk: bigger payout the longer you hold, zero payout if you're greedy. Clear a wave, pick an upgrade, keep going. A third lane splits the rule in two. Insurance eats one mistake for free. A magnet flags every fake coin before you touch it. None of it slows the belt down for long โ waves get faster, rules flip mid-shift, fog rolls in and hides half the coins. Copper marks carry over between runs. Spend them on permanent unlocks: new sorting rules, upgrade slots, a third bin from the start. Every run makes the next one a little easier. No timers pushing you to open the app. No energy bar. Just a belt, some coins, and a shift to get through.
