Cool! The idea reminds me of that game around 2015 where you had to do special things with your iPhone to unlock various tiles. E.g. restart the phone; turn WiFi on/off; shake it; turn ringer on/off; etc.

Was that blackbox?

Will look into that for sure! Yes the timing is the challenging part of the app :) Glad you like it overall!
