Splice is an experimental and artistic puzzler. Immerse yourself in its microbial world and start splicing! Every level ("strand") consists of a number of cells that you will need to rearrange into a target structure in several moves ("splices"). Exploration and experimentation are key in determining how the curious little cells react to each other. Predict the sequence of splices you'll have to make in order to successfully arrange each strand. Re-sequence, mutate, and splice your way through this unique puzzle experience, and you'll exercise your ability to visualize sequential series of shapes over time. Solve your way to the final strands and you'll be left with a heady sense of mental accomplishment!

8 of 15One of the best "puzzles" I have ever seen!!!😄😀😃😊 This is a must have app!
I love this game. My only gripe is that it is not available to play on my iPhone. If you release it there it will be the best day of my life.
Peaceful and challenging all in one. I love Cipher Prime!
I can’t believe that Apple includes this in their “intuitive controls” collection — the “control” is maddeningly frustrating. Want a beautiful game? Get Osmos. Want a frustrating game? Get Splice.
Interesting puzzle game, really easy to get the hang of. One major complaint from me is that there is no way I can find to mute the game's soundtrack - I want to listen to my own music while I play.
Most people say this gam is good, and I BELIVE them, but for me it just goes to a black screen after is says "SPLICE". Please fix it and I will give this the review it deserves.
I love this game. However, it does not work with iOS 11.
I heard some complains about the lack of instructions. Part of this games appeal is to figure out what the instructions are. I don't believe the original Tree of Life came with instructions either. The game does have one irritation for me. It doesn't remember where I left off and cycles back to previous puzzles each time I start it up.
