Read full description

Split Even is a precision puzzle game built around one simple idea: cut a shape into two perfectly equal parts. Draw a line, release, then see the verdict. 49.7 / 50.3? Close. 50 / 50? Perfect. Easy to understand but hard to master, Split Even turns every level into a small challenge of perception, precision, and composure. WHY PLAY SPLIT EVEN? • An instantly understandable concept One gesture, one cut, one clear objective: split the shape as accurately as possible. • Fast and satisfying levels Each attempt lasts only a few seconds. Instantly see your result, percentages, and stars. • A real difficulty curve The first shapes seem obvious. Then the traps appear: asymmetry, holes, false symmetry, moving shapes, fog, memory challenges, timers, ratios, and special cuts. • 30 worlds to explore Progress through 327 levels designed to test your eye, precision, and ability to read shapes. • Hunt for Perfects Replay levels to improve your scores, earn more stars, and achieve the perfect cut. • Training mode Sharpen your precision with 139 additional shapes, playable in ordered or random mode. AN EASY PUZZLE TO PICK UP, HARD TO PUT DOWN Split Even doesn’t rely on long tutorials or complicated controls. Everything comes down to your eye and your movement. Where is the true center? Which line balances the entire shape? Is this shape really symmetrical? Every level pushes you to observe more carefully, cut more precisely, and try again to gain those extra fractions. CONTENT • 30 worlds • 327 adventure levels • 139 training shapes • Stars, records, and Perfects to collect • Saved progression • Game Center leaderboards and achievements • 5 worlds playable for free • Full unlock with a single purchase • No subscriptions Split Even is made for players who love clean, fast, and precise puzzle games. One gesture. One cut. The perfect 50 / 50.
