If you're looking for complete simplicity in a game, Trak4 is the ideal game for you. The focus is placed squarely on short term memory, as you'll be asked to rotate blocks adorned with triangles (in 90 degree increments by tapping your finger on the desired block) until you think you've got it right. When you have, you tap 'solve', and it will reveal whether you did or not.
A hint button will reveal the board briefly (it gives the same amount of time as the initial preview), and for fun, a small circle dances around the image that you're supposed to create, teasing as to where exactly the pieces fit. If you need no hints then the game will award you a 500 point bonus, and score you on how quickly you finish the level. You try to keep completing as many random puzzles as you can before you fail one or run out of time - once that happens you're given the opportunity to post to the local leader board.
Whilst there's no music to speak of and content is pretty sparse (50 puzzles, with more promised), we really enjoyed the game. It's just challenging enough to make you want to play some more, and is thus the perfect 59p game.
Challenging game based on short term memory, low on features but very fun.
