Tinta
Read full descriptionHide full description
3 logic games in one app: Tinta, Duo and Crowns. A daily puzzle for each, the same for everyone, and 600 levels. No timer, no lives, no coins, never an ad in the middle of a grid. Just you, your logic and a pencil. Every grid has one single solution, and everything can be deduced. Zero luck, zero guessing: if you're stuck, the answer is already staring at you. TINTA, THE COLOR GRID • Pick a color from the palette and tap a cell to fill it. • Count chips tell you how many cells of a color sit in a row or column. • The = and ≠ markers link two neighboring cells: twins, or rivals. • The pencil rules out impossible colors, cell by cell. • 360 grids from 4×4 to 7×7, with 3 or 4 colors, across worlds. • The daily puzzle follows the week: 5×5 on Monday, 7×7 on Sunday. The last 14 days stay playable. DUO, TWO COLORS IN BALANCE • Every row and column holds the same number of cells of each color. • Never three identical cells in a row. • An = sign links two neighbors of the same color, an × sign two different ones. • The takuzu family (binairo, binary puzzle), in color. 120 levels from 4×4 to 8×8. CROWNS, STAR BATTLE IN COLORS • One crown per row, one per column, one per colored region. • No two crowns ever touch, not even diagonally. • Cross out impossible cells and watch the grid close in. • 120 levels from 5×5 to 9×9. THREE DAILY PUZZLES • A fresh grid in each game every day, the same for everyone. • Play day after day to grow your streak. • Share your result as a line of colored squares: friends see how you played, not the solution. • Tinta's daily puzzle is also free to play in any browser at appcraft31.app, so you can challenge someone who doesn't have the app. • A daily reminder if you want one, at the time you choose. STUCK? WE'LL EXPLAIN • A hint doesn't just fill a cell: it shows you one and tells you why. "This row already has its 2 pink cells: this cell can't be pink." • 3 free hints every day, plus 2 more for watching an ad, only when you ask. • Every grid is generated and verified by a logic engine: one unique solution, always reachable through pure reasoning. • Up to 3 stars per grid: no mistakes and no hints is a flawless solve. MADE FOR CALM • No coins, no shop, no timer, no lives. • Ads are rare and never appear during a grid. A one-time Remove Ads purchase gets rid of them for good. • Color assist: a distinct symbol per color, so you never depend on color alone. • On iPhone and iPad, dark mode included, playable offline. Three grids, one coffee, let logic do the talking.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tinta at Free against Bug Bomber's $1.99. Tinta also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). Bug Bomber's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
