UG1: Beat The Clock
A simple memory game, played against the clock. Turn the tiles over by tapping on them and if the images under two consecutively selected tiles match, they lock open. If the images don't match, then both tiles turn back to their blank faces. The objective is to lock all twenty tiles open within the allocated time, which clears the board and triggers a new level.
There are eight complete sets of images, and a set cannot be repeated for at least four levels. All tiles on any particular level are randomly allocated, so it is unlikely that any two consecutive levels will be identical. There are three difficulty levels, which determine how much time is initially available to solve the puzzle. On all speed settings, the available time decreases with each completed level. Bonus scores are awarded for unused time if greater than five seconds are left.

Special Functions
This dialog page gives information about the application, and has clickable links to both this site and the site of the Godot project. There may be small differences between the version that you see and that which is illustrated here. In particular, the version number shown here is from a prerelease version.
An important secondary purpose of this page is to allow the user to reset the high scores shown on the main screen. This is done by tapping anywhere in the top part of the page (above the version number) six times within three seconds. If sound is enabled, a klaxon noise will sound to confirm. The scores will be cleared.
Odds & Ends
UG1 ??? Unnoted Game One. Take a close look at the centre of the background while the game slides in or out, there it is in all it's glory. I'm really quite terrible at thinking up decent names for these things, in this case I didn't really have a lot of time to think about it, and I can hardly change it now! Will there be a UG2 then? Very probably, I'm afraid. I can't tell you what it's going to involve because I don't know myself yet. I might even think up a proper name for it, like some of my other games!
Availability & Download
This game is available for download from this site only. At the time of writing, I have no intention of ever making it available from the Play Store.
Special Notice
At present, you may download and install directly to an Android device by tapping the download link. At some point in the near future though, this method will stop working unless you jump through some hoops first and wait 24 hours. This is due to Google's plan to restrict downloads from "unverified" developers, meaning me and lots of others who would rather sit naked on a cactus than give $25, a street address, and Government ID to Google - the world's biggest advertising agency.
More sorry details here.
