About

Solo 33

Read full description

Solo 33 is peg solitaire the way it was meant to be played: a wooden board, 33 holes, 32 marbles and one empty space in the middle. Jump a marble over its neighbor, take the jumped marble off the board, and keep going. Leave a single marble in the center and you have solved it. Simple to learn. Genuinely hard to master. HOW TO PLAY • Select a marble, or drag it straight to where you want it • Jump horizontally or vertically over an adjacent marble into an empty hole • The marble you jumped over is removed • The game ends when no jump is left — aim for one marble in the center FEATURES • The classic 33-hole English board • Click, tap or drag — whichever feels natural • Unlimited undo and redo, so one bad jump never ends a good run • Built-in solver: when you are stuck, Hint shows a move that still leads to a perfect finish • Your game saves itself — close the app mid-puzzle and pick it up later • Statistics for games finished, perfect solves, best result and total moves • Sound and haptic feedback, each switched on or off on its own • Full VoiceOver support • Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac NO NONSENSE • No ads • No subscriptions • No account, no sign-up • No internet connection needed • No data collected about you Solo 33 is a quiet game. Nothing is counting down, there are no lives to lose and no streak to protect. Play a board over a coffee, or spend a week chasing your first perfect solve.

About

Loop Shift

Features
Read full description

Loop Shift is a clean, tactile logic puzzle built around one simple idea: rotate the marbles, move the central track, and separate the colors. Each level gives you two connected loops filled with red and white marbles. Rotate the active loop to position the right group of marbles inside the movable track, then shift that track to the other side. Every transfer matters. Easy to understand. Surprisingly hard to master. FEATURES • 150 logic puzzles across 3 level packs • Unique loop-and-shift puzzle mechanic • Smooth, satisfying marble movement • Transfer limits that reward efficient solutions • Smart hints that show the next useful move • Undo and restart whenever you need them • Best-transfer tracking for every level • Optional rewarded ads for extra transfers or hints • Lifetime Premium unlock • No account required • Play at your own pace PREMIUM Unlock all installed level packs immediately and remove forced/interstitial ads with a one-time Lifetime Premium purchase. Rewarded ads remain optional when you choose to earn an extra hint or additional transfers. A fresh alternative to classic ball sort and color sort games, Loop Shift turns a simple mechanical idea into a compact brain teaser you can return to anytime. Can you solve every loop?
