Blackbox is a super fun (and sometimes frustrating) puzzler. What makes it really unique is that you solve the puzzles without touching the screen. Ryan (@warpling) did an awesome job taking advantage of the sensors on the iPhone.

I have a good feeling that this will get featured by Apple and be a hit on the App Store! Check it out!
Thank you @robjama! AHH—what an exciting day!!! ⬛️😄
This is a game I have wanted to be able to play FOREVER. I'm so excited to be able to finally share it with all of you :)
Blackbox is a puzzle game made to push your creative, outside-the-box thinking… Unlike normal puzzle games, the challenges in Blackbox can't be beat by any sort of swiping or tapping—in fact they almost never involve touch… I don't want to say too much and potentially spoil the game by robbing you of "ah hah" moments, so I hope that's enough to intrigue you to give it a try! I'd love to hear what you all think, if you have challenge ideas, and if there are any questions I can answer!
@robjama This game is great! The puzzles use the phone in all sorts of clever ways. I'll echo the sometimes frustrating part and I think that's what makes it a great puzzle game. "Refreshingly oppressive" really is a great tag line. Great job @warpling!
@thenameislong@robjama It's been tough to balance the frustration and satisfaction but I think it's at a pretty good place? Let me know if not!

This game is amazing! I'm surprised by how addicting it. I hope Apple recognizes Blackbox for how unique it is compared to other puzzle games. My friends and I are challenging each other to see who can complete the game quicker. I love how the puzzles are minimal and actually make you think.
Keep up the great work, and can't wait to beat the game.
@chrisjano That's awesome Chris!! Did you see that if you invite them with your share link you'll get hints each time someone new installs? :D Hope I can get out more challenges before you beat it! ;)

When I first played this game, I thought it is creepy because it is super addictive. Now I'm almost done with all of those lights and waiting for new ones. Telling the truth, this is the only one I haven't deleted and the funniest one I've ever seen on the App Store. Congrats and burittos to Ryan and his team, oh Ryan again. 😅
