Apps · How we make them
Four rules for every title
Games and apps for iPhone and iPad that anyone can pick up. Every title is held to the same four rules.
- Everyone can play
- Rules legible from the first screen. No tutorial, no skill gate.
- Content that keeps going
- New material keeps arriving after launch.
- No pressure to keep up
- No timers, no leaderboards, no streak to break.
- Made for the hands
- Tap sound, haptics and pacing get the same care as the art.
Apps · Available on the App Store
Diamond Dot Art
Tap gems onto a numbered grid and a picture comes up out of it. Every tap answers with a sound and a small haptic click. No fail state, no clock.
