Today's Best Apps: Shuffler Game And Rotations
Rotations by Kevin HOLDITCH (Free, 21.9 MB): This match-4 game provides a fine way to pass the time with simple mind flexing entertainment. On a diamond-shaped board, there are two types of hexagons, each in a different color pattern. Your task is to eliminate them by matching four same-colored hexagons in a 2-by-2 square or larger, such as 4-by-4 or even 2-by-4, through a limited number of actions. Both involving five hexagons grouped into a "+" shape, rotations are performed by single tapping then swiping in a direction to spin the group, whereas color swapping, or flipping, occurs when you double tap on a hexagon group. Points as well as the number of allowed rotations and flips increase as you succeed. The game also features an auto-save level-up system for progress reference and automatic color theme changes.
