About the game

Short: Halves is a precision puzzle about one perfect cut: swipe a single straight line to slice off exactly the percentage shown.

Long: 50% feels easy. 33% is tricky. 10% of a spinning, drifting shape is where Halves gets good. Every round shows a shape and a target; you get one straight swipe, and the game measures your piece to a tenth of a percent. Land within half a point for a Perfect and chain accurate cuts into a streak.

Endless: levels ramp from simple shapes to spinning, drifting ones, with a boss every fifth level. The Sliver, The Baker, The Ghost and The Spinner each change one rule.
Daily: ten shapes, the same for everyone worldwide, shared as a spoiler-free grid.
Sprint: each week's 25 shapes against the clock; every point of error adds a second.
Weekly challenges, a Golden Shape album and Game Center leaderboards and achievements.

Fair by design: no ads, no tracking, no energy timers and no data collected. The in-game currency is earned only by playing. Halves Plus, the one optional purchase, is cosmetic and never affects score.

Accessible: cut by tapping two points instead of swiping, a left-handed layout, reduced motion, and switchable sound and haptics.
