*How to play*
Nuts are hidden on the screen. Tap to use pulse waves to narrow down their position, and then tap their hidden spot to reveal them. A nut can not hide within a pulse wave. If a nut isn't where you tapped, a new pulse wave will be generated and you keep searching!
Sounds easy? At first it is, then it gets harder as challenges and conditions are added. Can you clear the story mode? Will you be the best at VS mode? Most players can't beat level 8,will you be able to clear all 100 levels!?
*Story*
The peaceful people of Nutopia hold a Hide and Seek World Championship each year. This year, the mysterious Dr. E. Peanut has crashed the party, angry that he's not considered a real nut. All the nuts are petrified and have hidden themselves around Nutopia. You have to find them and get them to safety, who knows what Dr. E. Peanut has in store for them! The story unfolds as you progress.
Tap the game area to look for the hidden nuts. Each time you tap, the game creates a pulse wave which stops at nuts and obstacles. Use the pulse waves to narrow down where the nuts are hiding, then tap the nuts to reveal them. It seems easy, but with various challenges and win conditions, it can get hard very quickly.

Find Yo Nuts began has a prototype game for the blind. The original game play was to use sound pings to let a player know how close they were with their finger to a hidden object. In the process of prototyping that game, debug visuals were added that showed the "pulse" of sound and the returning echo. That game ended up being played by the development team over and over and over again. Each trying to beat the best search time and taps of each other.
The original game and idea was then abandoned for a few years. A few of us from that original team decided to give it a go and Find Yo Nuts was created! It's no longer a game for the blind.
