Things

Click a Thing, watch the chain

Every Thing has an arm. Click one and its arm turns a quarter clockwise. When two Things point their arms at each other, the other one turns too, and so on down the line. One click, a chain, a melody.

Four ways to play

• Normal: 99 clicks and a shop. Buy a second arm, more eyes, double points, extra coins. Chains grow from "three turns" to "the whole board".
• No Shop: 99 clicks, a pre-seeded board, nothing to buy. Pure looking. Pick Chaos for a 20 x 14 board where every Thing already has two arms and you get ten clicks.
• Zen: no limit. Grow the board to 20 x 20, tune each Thing to its own note and play melodies with chains.
• Puzzle: ten hand-made boards with holes and a target. Every one verified solvable, some with exactly one solution.

It plays music

Every turn in Normal and No Shop plays the next note of a tune: Für Elise, Ode to Joy, the Little Fugue, Korobeiniki, Greensleeves, The Entertainer and more, in the rhythm of your clicks. Zen lets you write your own.

Share a seed

Same seed, same board. Type a friend's seed and race them on identical ground. Best scores and longest chains are kept per mode and board size.

What's in the box

• 3 board sizes for the click modes, 10 puzzles, 12 achievements
• 21 public-domain melodies, 13 start jingles
• Six languages
• A board of Things that breathe, blink and watch your cursor

Free, and a hello

Things costs nothing. It exists to say hello from needmoar.games, a site that ranks Steam games by what players actually prefer, one head-to-head duel at a time. If you enjoy the Things, go pit your own library against itself: needmoar.games.
