Golden Oddity

Golden Oddity - a tap puzzle built around finding the single image that does not match the rest. Each round fills a themed board with a grid of identical pictures - jester masks, playing cards, dice pairs, bells and fruit clusters - and exactly one of them carries a small difference: it can be slightly larger, turned at an angle, paler or darker than its neighbours. A timer bar runs above the board, and the round closes as soon as that image is tapped or the bar empties. A faster find adds more points, and a series of correct taps in a row keeps adding to the score. Tapping a matching picture or letting the timer empty costs one of three lives, and the game finishes when all three are gone. Difficulty rises every round: the board fills from fifteen pictures up to twenty-five, the time allowed shrinks, and the difference becomes steadily less noticeable. Progress is kept from one launch to the next - the best result, the number of finished games, the longest series and the total of found pictures all carry over, and a list of seven achievements unlocks from those counters. Settings keep vibration and screen effects switchable, hold a three-step difficulty selector that changes round time and starting difference for the next game, and allow the best result or the whole progress to be cleared. A separate panel explains the rules, and the game screen has a pause panel with continue, restart and exit.
