This game has exceptionally good sound design. Ultra tactile and so responsive. Makes you forget that someone had to design this behaviour, that these aren't just physical objects that naturally make these sounds as you manipulate them.

This was great. Funnily enough, I felt like I was interacting with my boss from Day Repeat Day again.

Played Pocket Boss by @playables.net.

I've kept an eye out for this game since its announcement. It mixes two things that are part of my "day to day", games and data viz.

It's was a bite-sized enjoyable experience. I'd say, play it on your phone for the best experience. Its well worth a try.

Does anyone know how long it takes until a Google Play app shows up as released on the store? It's been 1.5h since it shows it as released in the dashboard, but it's still not available. Or is it?
