So you think you understand this thing you’re holding? Think again. Stop tapping. Stop swiping. In fact, stop touching the screen at all. To crack Blackbox’s puzzles you’ll need to find solitude and stillness, climb mountains, call on friends, get in tune with the cosmos, and think outside the box. Minimalistic visual clues make for incredibly satisfying “Aha!” moments, while sonic interfaces provide an extra level of guidance and nuance that makes Blackbox accessible with or without vision. Thoughtful haptic feedback, Easter eggs on Easter eggs, and solutions that can’t be found beneath the glass of your screen redefine what a puzzle can be. You’ll never see your device the same way again. Think you’re clever? Prove it. (Blackbox is a living game under active development by Ryan McLeod. When not eating burritos or drinking coffee, he’s busy designing and developing new Blackbox challenges.) ■

STILL ist ein minimalistisches Zahlenspiel, das nicht stressen, sondern beruhigen soll. Die Idee ist einfach: Verbinde passende Zahlen so, dass ihre Summe 10 ergibt. Doch aus dieser simplen Regel entsteht ein ruhiger, konzentrierter Spielfluss, der Ordnung schafft statt Reizüberflutung. STILL wurde bewusst reduziert gestaltet: - klare Optik - sanfte Übergänge - intuitive Bedienung - kein hektisches Mobile-Game-Gefühl Das Spiel richtet sich an alle, die etwas suchen, das den Kopf nicht voller macht, sondern ruhiger. Features: - minimalistisches Zahlenspiel rund um die 10 - flüssiger, fortlaufender Spielfluss - ruhiges, klares Design - dezentes Highscore-System - entwickelt für ein entspanntes, fokussiertes Spielerlebnis STILL ist kein lautes Spiel. Es ist ein stiller Raum auf deinem Smartphone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: STILLE at none against Blackbox's 10. Blackbox's advantage is chart position (#25 vs unranked). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
