About

Pantalone

Features
Read full description

Pantalone brings two timeless games together in a single, polished experience — perfect for a quiet moment alone or some friendly family competition. Match Flip cards, trust your memory. Ten beautifully illustrated birds become 20 cards, shuffled and waiting. Turn two at a time and find every matching pair. Simple to learn, surprisingly satisfying to master. Slide Slide tiles, restore the picture. Each of the 10 bird illustrations becomes a scrambled 3×3 grid — with just one empty space to work with. Shift, think, and piece it back together one move at a time. Play Together, Compete Globally Both games are fully connected to Apple Game Centre, so you can challenge friends or climb the global leaderboard. A little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone. Free to Play. Ad-Free. The Birds set is free to play and Pantalone is completely ad-free — just pure, uninterrupted play from the moment you open it. More to Explore Love what you see? New image sets are coming soon at just $0.99 each. Fresh pictures, fresh puzzles, same great games. Whether you're 6 or 60, settling in for five minutes or an hour, Pantalone is the kind of game you'll come back to again and again. Download free today – no ads, no fuss, just fun.
