BEND-ish help
About the gameClear purchases, credit recovery and managed reminders described here apply to BEND-ish 1.1.0 and later. Version 1.1.0 is being prepared for release.
Playing
How do I bend a piece?
Use a hinged piece’s Bend control before placing it. It switches between two shapes and costs no points. You can bend it as often as you like before placing it.
Can I play offline or without an account?
Core gameplay works offline without a BEND account. Buying or using clears, Game Center, ads and online contact pages need a connection. If an ordinary move cannot be saved, Try again repeats the same change; leaving without saving discards that unsaved move. If a paid clear needs checking, use Check clear and keep the original game until it is resolved. Do not delete game data to recover a failed save.
Scores & saves
How do combos work?
Build combos to boost your score. Discover how as you play.
Can I come back to an unfinished game?
Your progress saves automatically on this device. Choose the same mode to continue your unfinished game. BEND-ish keeps one unfinished game at a time.
What happens when I switch modes?
BEND-ish keeps one unfinished game at a time. Choosing the same mode resumes it; choosing another mode replaces that board while retaining eligible scores and history. If a paid clear needs checking, resolve it before starting a replacement game.
Clears & recovery
Buying and using clears
Buy 1 or 10 clears through Apple. Buying adds credits; it does not use a clear. At the end of a game, Use 1 clear empties the board and keeps your score. Daily adds 2:30. Internet is needed to buy or use clears. Credits do not expire.
Checking your clear balance
Your clear balance is kept on the server and checked using your Apple purchase identity. Reopening the app checks pending purchases and clears. Game boards and scores stay on this device; recovering credits does not restore a deleted game. If a clear needs checking, use Check clear before another use.
If you choose Start fresh after a recovery problem, the new game starts with no scores or history. The earlier game and clear records are kept separately for recovery, even if you later delete the fresh game in Settings.
Apple refunds
Apple handles purchase refund requests. An approved refund removes only unused credits from that purchase. Partial refunds round down to whole clears. Scores and clears already used are not undone. Contact Support if the displayed balance needs checking; never send passwords or payment details.
Settings & extras
Do I have to watch an ad to play again?
No. You can start a new game without watching an ad. If an ad continue is offered, it is optional.
How do I manage reminders?
Turn Daily reminders on or off in Settings, where the times are shown. Enabling reminders can request notification permission. There are at most two relevant reminders per day, around 12:30 and 19:00 local time. Recent play and inactivity can reduce or stop reminders. Turning them off cancels BEND reminders. Device settings can delay or silence delivery.
Tapping a reminder opens Home and keeps your saved game; it does not start Daily or replace an unfinished Classic board.
Can I use taps instead of dragging?
Yes. Turn on Tap to place in Settings. Tap a piece to select it, then tap a space on the board to place it. You can still use its Bend control before placing it.
