iSlash

iSlash is one of those games that perfectly utilizes the touch screen. It’s a game of 'slicing'—you have to cut away pieces of a board to make it smaller, all while avoiding deadly spinning shurikens that bounce around the interior. It’s part puzzle, part action, and entirely addictive.

The 'feel' of the slice is incredibly satisfying. There’s a slight haptic-like feedback and a crisp sound effect that makes you feel like a master ninja. As you progress, the boards become weirdly shaped and the shurikens increase in number and speed, turning the game into a frantic dance of timing. It’s one of those rare games that starts out feeling like a relaxing toy and ends up being a high-intensity test of your reflexes. It’s a staple of the 'arcade puzzle' genre on mobile.
