Look This Way!
Read full descriptionHide 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 2Ć2 tutorial, then spends plenty of time on approachable 3Ć3 boards before gradually introducing 4Ć4 and 5Ć5 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.
