by It’s hard to classify Hundreds as a game, per say. Developed by Semi Secret Software, this $5 universal app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch feels more like a post-modern art installation, or perhaps a Cold War torture device maliciously released on iOS. Regardless, Hundreds is one of the singular weirdest experiences you’ll find on the iOS platform—and its beauty is certainly in the eye of the individual player.
The name Hundreds draws from the number of levels of the game (100) and the object of the game: to achieve 100 points on a given level. The game’s ambient noise and lack of formal tutorial will perhaps dissuade the more casual of players, and the game’s quickly-ramping difficulty will frustrate all but the most dedicated (and masochistic) of puzzle enthusiasts.
Hundreds starts off simple enough: you press and hold down on the gray circle in the middle of your screen to turn it red and expand its size. The circle starts with a value of zero, but as it grows, its value increases. Once it hits 100, you win the round.
