A few nice uses of animation in the Twitter app. The transition from the loading icon, as well as the heart animation.

I really like the use of solid graphics in the background of the game. Watch how they have a subtle parallax and are synced with the motion of the main element.

Dissembler

There's only one thing to do, flip. The UI is simple and the animations as you flip and solve puzzles are perfect.

The animation touches in this are brilliant. And, the integration of the UI with the game play is slick.

The loading animation is awesome. So are the graphics and everything else.

If there was a word for the heart icon emoji I’d use it. One of my favs from back in the day. The use of scrollviews and layered masks is just one of the many subtle touches in this app.

@simogo

Squashy Bug

A lot of simple little animations happening in the background, and straightforward animations that are actually part of the game, like the ant’s feet.

@appsoluteGames

Lovely minimalist use of graphics for the UI / Interface, and even moreso for the in-game play itself.

@gamebra_in

Brilliantly bold minimalist design. Lots of subtle typography and icon placement.

The use of scrollviews in this app is great. We also ❤︎ how the menu is just imagery.

Beautiful integration of illustration into the background of the app, providing nice motion feedback.

Really nice use of scaling the main interface to reveal the menu. Goes to show the staying power of a well-designed app.
