Delicious fly ahead!
Move the frog leg by leg to that delicious fly on the leaf in this puzzling game. App Store link (3,99 €).
For some reason, the feet of this frog can only rest on waterdrops. You have to drag the feet from drop to drop to move the frogs body closer to the fly. What makes this difficult is that the legs movement is limited by the anatomy of the frog. The forelegs are very short and the rotation of the legs is realistically limited by the joints.

A column of 3
Drop 7 is a nice looking tetris type of game about numbers. App store link
In this game there are two types of circles falling from the top into the grid: numbers from 1 to 7 and grey numberless circles. Tab a column to drop the circle on the top of the stack in that column. Let’s say you drop a 3. If the 3 ends up in a row or a column of 3 circles of any kind, it will disappear. A 5 will disappear if it lands in a row or a column of 5 circles and so on. The grey circles are locked. You unlock them if they are the direct neighbour of a circle that disappears. Unlock them twice and they will turn into ordinary circle with numbers. Read the rest of this entry »

node with shield
Nano is not a typical game, it’s more a creative way to play and meditate. The first time I run the app, I was a little bit helpless cause there’s no real introduction, but after a few minutes I dived into the flow of particles and it was kind of fascinating to explore the different particles. app store link
Each level consists of a electromagnetic field and two or three nodes, which you have to activate. There are six different particles-types, three benign (good) and three malign (bad) which all interact differently due to their diverse masses. Read the rest of this entry »
RJDJ listening screen
RJDJ generates music with the help of the headset microphone and different algorhythms to manipulate the input. The result is a soundtrack to your realworld experience. App store link
One scene for example takes the sounds sourrounding you and echos them. But it’s not a simple echo – the sounds are bend and pitched which produces a mind-boggling effect. Another scene somehow seems to undestand different kinds of sounds. So it able to replace the actual sounds with it’s own sounds. Read the rest of this entry »
a level of the "tree of reflection"
The objective in this beautiful game is to cover the surface of different objects with paint by bounding them with a rope. App store link
At the beginning of a level the rope is nailed to the object and you simply rotate the object to wrap it. As soon as a certain percentage of the surface is painted a second nail on the object starts glowing and you can finish the level by attaching the rope to it. In higher levels the objects become more complex and it’s getting harder to reach all areas. Read the rest of this entry »
split screen
This is an animation with a real 3D effect without having to wear any 3D-goggles. App store link
This app starts two almost identical 3D animations of a ride in a rollercoaster next to each other on a splitscreen. As you hold the phone very close in front of your face and stare at the animations they start overlapping. It appears as if there were 3 animations next to each other. This causes a surprising 3D effect for the animation in the middle. Read the rest of this entry »
