Boring idea: Double it to "TikTik!" (assuming the length is the issue, and this name isn't already used)

That would probably solve the issue of the search! Hopefully does not get confused with TikTok lol :) - nice idea though - will see; thanks!

I'd personally worry about a cease and desist. How about HapTik?

I'm certain you didn't mean it this way, but it is ableist to assume that because you don't need distractions that others don't. Some people living with ADHD, intrusive thoughts, autism, etc. actually do sometimes need a distraction.

Or maybe they don't need an abstraction and just think they do because it's easier than the alternative.

This is very prescriptive thinking and not constructive. Is there anything wrong with having a distraction, other than just your opinion?

It’s like telling someone with depression/anxiety to “get over it”.

this is what some people call 'shitification' of games

Yea yea yea, so I have an idea for a game, you keep your phone as still as possible! Just hold it still and you win! No one will ever know you are playing a game!!!

Difficult to find by search on the app store - 'tik', 'tik game' (and with the exclamation mark appended) didn't return it, but 'tik! haptic' did.

I noticed that too. I am not sure what to do about it though... since I don't want to change the app name. I am happy that writing haptic or game brings it up though!

still not too late to go with "haptik"

Looks interesting! Unfortunately can't try it out due to being an Android user, but you might wanna tweak the first image on the App Store :) It says "No evidence that your even playing!" when it should say "No evidence that you're even playing!".

Sorry to hear your on android, hopefully can expand the app to android in the future! Thank you for pointing that out! I guess I should have checked for typos and will fix that soon!

> Sorry to hear your on android

You did it again. Sorry you're on apple.

I have a mobile game idea that is “juggling for blind people”. You would use your phone as the hand to catch and throw balls in the air. All user feedback would be sound (ball going up, then going down) and haptic (catching and throwing the ball). I am just a web dev so I don’t think I have the skills to make it. Just leaving the idea here in case someone wants to build it

Go for it!
