Behind the curtain

App Sneak Peek is a preview channel for indie apps and games that aren't out yet, from the workshops of Lost Island and Idea Engine. Early looks, honest progress, and a beta list for people who like to see things first.

The peek-o-scope

The stage is dark. Move your pointer (or tap, or use the arrow keys) to shine the peephole across the board. Hold it on a card to spot it.
