How Brain Memory Training Academy runs
Brain Memory Training Academy is a small Unity puzzle game, and its Packed app is very small: when the project developers last published sizes, it came to about 0.1 GB. It plays on the iPhone.
How it runs
On the Mac, it plays the title, the controls screen, the level select and the levels themselves, through both the Level Complete and Level Failed screens, at 60 fps with sound and saves. Memory use stayed at about 0.75 GB and flat over 20 minutes of play.
Controls
The game is played with buttons only: the stick or D-pad, A, B and plus. It never reads the touch screen, so it runs in docked mode. The Packed app starts in the 2D touch layout (left stick, face buttons, shoulders, minus and plus). The layout button at the top centre switches layouts in game, and the app remembers your choice.
Good to know
- Tested with the base game, version 1.0.0, and no update.

None reported
Packing command
Run this in your nxnative folder on the Build Mac. Replace the game folder and the keys path with your own. Add --platform mac-app to get a Mac app instead of an iPhone and iPad app.
