Looking for something different? Swipe up, down, left or right to make arrows in a row or column point in the same direction! A unique challenge, unlike anything you’ve seen before. Playing SPIN AMAZE requires a combination of strategy and skill. Easy rules for a game that gets harder and harder as you make progress. A little planning and logic may help you! Try to estimate your best possible outcome. You may strike some luck through the game, as the arrows may just happen to fall in the right place. Play the best possible game by “popping” the rows or columns that requires the least moves. SPIN AMAZE is a puzzle game with simple rules. The arrows in each row or column rotate simultaneously. Swiping down or right makes a row or column rotate clockwise. Swiping up or left makes a row or column rotate counter-clockwise. Just make the arrows in any row or column point in the same direction with the least number of moves. Good luck!

Swap candies, line up three or more, and watch the board cascade. Pixel Crush Heroes is a match-3 adventure drawn entirely in pixel art: five heroes, 70 handmade levels across five worlds, and eleven bosses who fight back. NEW: THE PHANTOM FOUNDRY A Halloween world of its own, open to everyone from day one: 24 more levels through a robot graveyard and a haunted factory, on the biggest boards in the game. Hit a pumpkin reactor three times and it blows its whole row and column - and sets off the next one. Conveyor belts carry the candies along after every move. Two new bosses guard it: the Rust Wraith and the Mech-o-Lantern. FIVE WORLDS Candy Meadow, Cookie Forest, Chocolate Caverns, Haunted Sweetlands and the new Sugar Volcano - each with its own obstacles: jelly, crates, ice, spreading chocolate, cherries to bring home, gift boxes, fuse candies and boards with holes in them. BOSSES THAT FIGHT BACK Every match hurts the boss, and every few moves it strikes back. At half health each one changes tactics. HEROES WHO PLAY DIFFERENTLY Match a hero's colour to charge their power, then cast it for free: Zappy's Chain Lightning strikes seven candies, Frosty's Blizzard stops time for two moves, Sir Mint's Blade Rush cuts a whole row and column, and Luna's Starfall drops three special candies. And new: Jackbot's Rocket Fists blast two 3x3 holes right where they do the most. MORE WAYS TO PLAY - Endless Tower: floor after floor of new boards, a perk to pick after each, a boss on every fifth. How high can you climb? - Mastery: every level again as a hard remix on a new board shape, up to 10x10, for a crown. - 60 puzzles: nothing new falls in. Clear the jelly in the moves you are given - think first. - Fever: cascades heat the rim of the board; fill it and three moves count double. - Styles: candy skins and board themes to collect, and seasonal events with rewards of their own. PLAY ONLINE Five quick competitive modes for 5 or 10 players: Blitz, Sugar Rush, Candy Royale, Crush Clash and Boss Brawl. Everyone gets the same board. Meet other players or invite your friends through Game Center; empty seats are filled by bots, always marked as bots. MADE TO BE FAIR - Nothing to buy. No ad ever interrupts you: the only ads are optional rewards behind a button you choose to tap. - Every level is tested to be winnable, and the hard ones are marked before you play. - Win streaks give you a head start, and a short card explains each new thing once. - Every colour is also a shape, so the board reads the same if you are colourblind. - The adventure plays offline. Your progress follows you to your other devices through iCloud. Daily challenge, seven-day rewards, 29 achievements and Game Center leaderboards. In nineteen languages.
