Nine spaces. One white dot. Keep moving. Swipe anywhere to move around a tiny 3×3 board. Collect the diamonds, dodge the incoming dots, and find a gap before it closes. Every ten points brings a new stage, a new color, and a different pattern to learn. Smove is a small arcade game about timing, quick decisions, and the move you almost didn't make. A round can be over in seconds. Beating your best might take a few more tries. • Simple swipe controls • Ten changing stages with different obstacle patterns • A high score worth chasing • Sound and vibration controls Originally released in 2015, Smove returns with its original dodge-and-collect gameplay, rebuilt for today's iPhones and iPads. One more point. Then one more game.
