The Shapefinder

The Shapefinder is perfect for a sixty-second break that turns into fifteen minutes. The score ticks up fast — so does the difficulty. Stay ahead of it. Controls: Tap anywhere, press any key, or hold and release. The game is built to be played with a single finger. Tips to get better: Early levels are practice. Use them to learn the rhythm before the difficulty spikes. The first boss or big challenge usually teaches you a mechanic you'll need for the rest of the game. Watch for patterns in enemy or obstacle spawns — most games loop through a finite set. If you're drawn to games with a shapefinder flavor, The Shapefinder hits that spot cleanly. The Shapefinder is the kind of game you'll keep open in a tab for weeks.
