Play Polygon as solo or with somebody in multiplayer mode as collaborator or rival and train your visual perception. In multiplayer mode two people can solve the same puzzle at their devices in real time. This game designed to play with thumps when holding your phone with two hands but you can play it with one hand with two fingers as well. Also means, Polygon is optimized to play with an iPhone even if you still can play it on an iPAD. When playing the Polygon you are going to win points whenever you placed a piece to its right place but with some catches. You can drag the puzzle pieces with one or two finger when using two fingers you can also rotate the piece and you don't have to touch screen where the piece is even if you could. You can use any part of screen to drag or rote the piece. When you drag the piece to its place you win some points but if you can place it by throwing, you will get more points and if you can bounce it from sides you will get even more points. Throwing points will be depended on how far the piece's distance to its right location when your throwing finger left from the screen. You can chose previous or next pieces by using arrows at the bottom of the screen with some penalty.

About

Bead Gallery

Features
Read full description

Move and rotate a falling pair of beads to connect four or more of the same color. When beads clear, the ones above drop into the gap, and if they connect again the chain continues. The colors you clear reveal a hidden pixel artwork. Swipe left or right on the board to move, tap to rotate, and swipe down to place a pair at once. The landing guide and the next two beads stay visible, so you can play one-handed. Clear five or more beads of one color, or build a 2-chain, to create a core bead. Connect three beads in the core's color and it bursts the surrounding 3×3. Clear beads to fill the three-step chance meter and your next pair arrives in a single color. Higher levels unlock tweezer, horizontal brush, and vertical brush beads. Finished artworks collect in your gallery, and after all 36 are complete they return in new colors. No account or sign-in is needed. Artworks and play records are saved only on this device and are never sent to a server, so they do not carry over if you delete the app or switch devices.
