I made a game you can play without anyone knowing (no visuals/sound)
Hello everyone! I just launched an iOS game called Tik! and it has no visuals or sound of any kind.
So the obvious question is.. how do you play it?<p>The game uses your phone’s Haptics in order to play a rhythm of “Tiks” (haptic vibrations). The user then has to try and recreate the timing of the rhythm they just felt by tapping it anywhere on the screen. It sounds easy, but getting the timing right is tricky, and so it usually takes a couple tries before your able to get it right.<p>The inspiration for the game came from wanting something to do in a really boring presentation. It would have been disrespectful to look at my phone, but I also needed a distraction. I typically hold my phone in these kinds of scenarios, and fiddle with the case, when it occurred to me: what if there was a game I could play just holding the phone anywhere (under a desk, in my pocket, to the side, etc.). Sometime later Tik! was born :)<p>I would love your feedback on it. The game is paid, but if someone would like a promo code to try it please let me know below.
