"Nous." Has Released! Minigame-Based Mobile Multiplayer on iOS and Android.
"nous." has released this Wednesday, October 28th, on Android and iOS. It is a minigame-based single and multiplayer game with focus on the latter. The goal is to hold out as long as possible by correctly finishing minigames to gain time. Rounds are relatively short which makes it the perfect gap filler for short breaks in school or work. The difficulty of the minigames increases over time and is reset when a new round is started - keeping the game interesting and giving it great replay value. - November 01, 2015 - MarianFrischeDev
