## What is Tintlings?

Tintlings is a calm block puzzle drawn in ink, with pop-art colors and little critters that watch every move you make.

HOW IT WORKS
Drag pieces onto a 9×9 board. When three or more matching critters touch, they merge into a brighter one right where your piece landed: blue becomes mint, mint becomes sunny yellow, and sunny yellow turns into Light. Light bursts and clears the 3×3 area around it. Fill a whole row or column and it disappears. One merge can set off the next, and cascades and streaks multiply your score.

Classic mode has no timer. The game saves after every move, so you can put your phone down and pick up where you left off whenever you like.

SWEEPER WITH CRITTERS
Uncover tiles and read the critters: their color and number tell you how many ink blots are hiding nearby. Play it relaxed, or race a three-minute clock.

COME BACK TOMORROW
Keep your streak going and watch the calendar fill up with fire. A gentle evening reminder lets you know when your streak is waiting. Tint IQ is a playful number from 70 to 160 that grows as you play better. It's just for fun, not a psychological test.

DRAWN BY HAND, FULL OF LIFE
Every fill is drawn while you watch: ink spreads like watercolor, hatching appears stroke by stroke, halftone dots pop in one after another. The critters have eyes. They follow your finger, blink, bounce when a piece lands and get excited right before a merge.

SUPPORT THE CREATOR
Tintlings is made by one person. Every mode is available without a purchase. The game shows ads: short breaks between games, and optional rewarded ads when you want a bonus such as a second chance. If you'd like to help, you can buy me a Coffee, a Cake or a Pizza. Each is a one-time purchase that gives you the Patron badge and 30 days without ads. Buy more and the days add up. Nothing renews.
