## What is Tideline?

Turn mirrors. Place glass. Steer colored light to wake a dark harbor: a Daily Light, a colorblind mode, no time limits, and optional videos only.

Tideline is a calm puzzle game about steering colored light.

A sleepy harbor has gone dark. Turn mirrors, place glass, and send each beam to the lighthouse, lamp, or buoy that is waiting for its color. When the light arrives, the harbor wakes up.

SAIL ISLAND TO ISLAND
Every level is an island on your sea chart. Solve one and your boat sails on to the next. Reach the end of a place and the storm over the next one parts.

A NEW IDEA IN EVERY PLACE
Mirrors in the Harbor, stones you place to shield the Breakwater, splitters in the Channel, filters in the Glasshouse, prisms at the Lighthouse, combiners in the Estuary, placing your own pieces in the Workshop, and everything at once on the Open Sea. The Harbor Master explains each new idea the first time you meet it.

DAILY LIGHT
One new puzzle every day, the same for everyone. Beat par, keep your streak, and share your result without spoilers.

FRIENDS ON THE WATER
Seals lounge on the rocks, puffins stand on the pier, otters float in the estuary, a crab scuttles on the sandbar, and now and then a whale comes up to say hello.

MADE FOR ONE THUMB
Tap to turn and drag to place. No timers and no ads.

FIVE LIVES
The Harbor is yours to learn in, free. After that, each level gives you a few moves beyond par. Run out and you lose one of five lives, and they come back one every twenty minutes.

PEARLS
Earn Pearls as you solve levels and play the Daily Light. Spend them on an undo that gives the move back or a hint, buy a few more moves when the tide runs out, or save up for a new board theme.

• 120 hand-picked levels across eight places
• Three stars for solving at or under par
• Game Center: a Daily Light leaderboard, a stars leaderboard, and 16 achievements
• Colorblind mode adds patterns and shapes to every color
• Drawn entirely in code, with gentle synthesized sound and haptics

Optional in-app purchases: Pearl packs, board themes, the Deep Water chapter pack, and a Supporter bundle. The Daily Light never uses hints, lives, or anything paid.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4 — 2026-10-27

Version 1.4
- A gentler start: the first levels are quicker, with short captions to guide you
- Daily Light unlocks as you light your first islands, and now you can open it straight from a link
- Easier, more forgiving taps when pieces sit close together
- Better layouts on foldable and larger screens
- Share your Daily Light result with a link to Tideline
- Smoother navigation between Map, Daily and Ranks

### 1.3 — 2026-10-16

- Your keeper now helps: after a few failed tries on a tide, they offer a free hint or an extra tide to get you through.
- Optional "Keep your life" video: out of lives mid-tide? Watch a short video to keep going. Always your choice.
- New "More from us" card in Settings, so you can find our other games.
- Smoother play and small fixes.

### 1.2 — 2026-10-14

Smoother, steadier Tideline. We updated how optional videos load, so rewards retry if a video is slow to start. We also moved to a new crash and usage reporting service to help us fix problems faster. No changes to levels or purchases.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-09

- Two new chapter packs: The Reef and The Ice Coast. Or get all three packs, Deep Water included, in one bundle.
- A tide chest washes up every day with free Pearls.
- Optional videos: watch one for a free hint, a life, 5 more moves, or double Pearls. They only play when you tap an offer, and never in Daily Light.
- Keeper's Pass: unlimited lives, every video reward without the video, and double Pearls from levels.
- Daily Light Archive: play any day from the past year.
- Reminders when your lives are full and when today's Daily Light is waiting. Turn them off in Settings.
- The Glasshouse is rebuilt: every filter now changes the light, and light always comes out the color of the glass. Filter levels in other chapters were rebuilt the same way.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-08
