## What is Pause?

Nonograms, billiards, word puzzles, belote: small games that are actually finished, and every one of them plays with your phone in airplane mode. Tap a game and you are playing three seconds later. No account, no loading screen, nothing to set up.

WHAT IS INSIDE

Nono: nonogram puzzles, also called picross or griddler. Read the numbers, reveal the picture. Always solvable by pure logic, never by guessing.
Pool: 8 ball billiards with real blackball rules, against a bot with three difficulty levels, or against a friend with a room code.
Belote: coinche or classic, with a coach to guide your bids. You and your partner against two bots.
Wordy: swipe the letters, fill the crossword, at your own pace.
Mosaic: shikaku logic. One number, one rectangle, one solution.
Woodfit: fit every wooden block into the carved shape. Simple to grasp, hard to put down.
Jam: slide every coloured block out through the gate of its own colour.
Roll: a sliding pipe puzzle. Clear the path and roll the ball home.
Fill: draw a single line through every square, without ever crossing it.
Motzen: guess the hidden word, one row at a time. No timer, no pressure.
Snake: grow, hunt and outlast the arena. Solo against bots, or against real players.
Snug: tidy up little scenes and work out the rule behind them. The rule is never the one you expected.
Drift: slide through the corners, refuel, and survive as long as you can.
Stack: time your tap and build the tallest tower.
2048: swipe, merge the tiles, chase the 2048 tile.
Dotrace: the racetrack paper game, with a par to beat on every circuit.

MADE FOR THE MOMENTS WITH NO SIGNAL

The plane, the metro, the basement, the waiting room, the mountain hut. Everything runs on the phone itself. Nothing is fetched while you play, nothing unlocks later.

WHAT YOU WILL NOT FIND

No ads between games. A hint can be earned with a short video if you want one, and only if you ask for it.
No account, no sign-up, no email address.
No lives to wait for, no countdown pushing you, no daily streak to protect.

Your progress and your best scores live on your phone. A leaderboard is there if you want it, and silent if you do not. Puzzles keep working the same on a plane as at home, because they never needed the network in the first place.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.5.1 — 2026-09-24

Pause now declares the six languages it speaks, and its icon carries the right name in Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. The bundled games start from their latest version.

### 2.5.0 — 2026-09-15

No more ad breaks between games. A few were still slipping in between levels; they are gone. In pool, the opponent now has five levels instead of four, the last one forgives very little, and the cue has been redrawn.

### 2.4.0 — 2026-09-11

Snug has nearly twice as many scenes to tidy, and the ones that resisted for no good reason have been rebuilt. Belote and pool now play straight from one device to the other, without going through our servers: it answers faster. In pool, a button to leave a game, power you can dial without a second finger, and your opponent called by name.

### 2.3.0 — 2026-09-09

Two new games. Mosaic is Shikaku: cut the grid into rectangles, one number in each, and the number is its area. Pure deduction, never a guess. Snug asks you to tidy little scenes and work out the rule behind them. Belote plays a sharper hand, and the app now reopens on the game you left.

### 2.2.5 — 2026-09-05

Pool gets a new look. Real balls in the rail instead of flat dots, a brass plate for whose turn it is, and messages that finally tell fouls and combos apart. Tilt your phone: the table lies down and fills the screen.
