SUMI PATH

Read full description

Find the one path that makes everything fit. SUMI PATH is a quiet number-path puzzle for iPhone, inspired by washi paper and sumi ink. Three simple rules: • Connect numbers that add up to 10 • Move up, down, left or right; paths cannot cross or share a cell • Fill every cell except obstacles to clear the board Connecting the pairs is only the beginning. To fit every path on the board, you will need to read ahead, rethink a route and find the arrangement that works. Every included puzzle has been verified to have exactly one solution. Included: • 430 numbered levels • 6 practice puzzles • 365 daily puzzles that run on-device • A high-difficulty stage every 10 levels • Up to 3 hints per play • Undo, reset and automatic progress saving • Washi, Morning Mist and Evening Ink themes • Clear records, streaks and hint-free stats • Shareable images of in-progress boards before using help, and completed boards • Japanese and English • VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, High Contrast and Reduce Motion support Free to play: Levels 1–40, practice, daily puzzles, hints, all themes and statistics are free. Full Edition (one-time in-app purchase): Unlock Levels 41–430 and answer previews except on each 10-level high-difficulty stage. Progression still matters: each new section opens after you clear the preceding high-difficulty stage. No subscription. The current price is shown in the in-app purchase screen. There is no time limit or timer during play. There are no ads, accounts, analytics, tracking or developer-operated servers. All puzzles and hints work offline, and progress is stored on your device. A connection to Apple may be needed to load product information, purchase or restore. Take it one path at a time.

About

Look This Way!

Features
Read full description

Look This Way! is a logic puzzle about figuring out where a group of cute ghosts should face. On numbered ghosts, the number basically tells you how many other ghosts are looking at that ghost. Tap to rotate a ghost by 90 degrees, or flick to choose a direction directly. Adjust every ghost until all numbers and special conditions are satisfied. The game begins with a tiny 2Ɨ2 tutorial, then spends plenty of time on approachable 3Ɨ3 boards before gradually introducing 4Ɨ4 and 5Ɨ5 puzzles. There are 2,000 puzzles in total, but the game is designed to be enjoyed one puzzle at a time rather than rushed through. As you progress, new special ghosts and rules are unlocked little by little. Some change how far a gaze travels, some change what is counted, and others link the conditions of two ghosts. New ideas are introduced gradually so you can learn each one before the combinations become more involved. Use a note when you want to remember a possible direction. You can undo one move at a time or restart a puzzle from the beginning. If you get stuck, you can watch an ad to reveal the correct direction of one ghost as a hint. First-time clears also help grow the Ghost Room. New ghosts, furniture, and little sparkles appear as you keep solving, giving you something to come back and see between puzzles. The game is free to play and includes ads. There are no in-app purchases, and no login is required.
