This is simply a maze. Not more, not less. It's a mini-game with a little addictive potential. It's the first game of the upcoming "plain selection", a mini-game series consisting of titles reduced to their essence. plain maze features an endless, randomized, moving maze which you have to solve fast in order to keep up. With time, speed continues to increase. You can buy access to a color-picker for a value that is about half a hot chocolate here. Just drag the ball to the "store" lane and it will guide you to the color-picker. With it you can color your ball and the trace you leave. The color-picker is yours from that time on. So it's a one-time half of a hot chocolate donation, not one every time you wish to recolor. If you find any bugs, have an idea for a new plain feature or simply want to say Hi, you can contact us at contact@plain-selection.com How to play: • Drag the ball through the maze and don't get trapped! • Collect small black points to receive additional lives. 20 points = 1 life. When you die and have at least one life, a new ball will appear in the labyrinth so you can keep on playing. • To interact with the menu, just drag the ball over the respective dotted circles, they will teleport you. • Switching sound on/off works by simply dragging the ball over the sound icon next to the website- and facebook-lane. • Once purchased: to color your ball, simply drag your ball over the color of your choice and let go of it there.
Vesper Pop
Read full descriptionHide full description
Vesper is a small, calm space for letting go. Soft, glowing orbs drift across a dark, quiet screen. Tap one and it bursts into light — with a gentle pop and a spreading shockwave that can set off the orbs around it. Clear them all, take a breath, and start again. There is no score to chase, no timer, no failure. Just a slow, satisfying loop you can pick up for ten seconds or ten minutes. - Tap to pop. Simple, tactile, endlessly repeatable. - Chain reactions. Bursts ripple outward and set off nearby orbs. - Soft synthesized sound. Every pop has its own gentle tone — never harsh. - Hidden fortunes. Now and then an orb leaves a small, kind message behind. - Made to calm. Muted colors, no ads, no pressure, no accounts. Whatever you just popped, it wasn't real anyway. Vesper collects no data and needs no sign-in. Just open it and breathe. Created by Kate Wu.
