GridLinx
Read full descriptionHide full description
GridLinx is a "connect" game that demands careful but quick thought in placing tiles together to build the largest connected structures. The more tiles you connect together, the higher the score. Stay alert though, there is a time limit on each round. So if your not quick enough you'll run out of time. When you build a connected structure you are credited both with game points and with more play time. So look for every chance to link your tiles. As you climb higher in levels you will notice that later levels require higher scores to advance. You will also notice new challenges that will keep you on your toes. So, get in the zone and put your puzzle brains on blast!
Stack Swipe Rush
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stack Swipe Rush is a satisfying puzzle game where every swipe slides the entire grid of plates in one direction. Your mission? Stack 5 or more same-colored plates to make them disappear, hit your level goals, and clear the board! Core Mechanics: Swipe up, down, left, or right to shift all plates in that direction. Plates only stack if the one in their path is the same color. Stacks of 5 or more matching plates automatically blast! Tap the Serve button to drop new plates into empty tiles—or even on top of existing stacks. Progress Through Levels: Each level sets specific color-based goals: e.g., blast 7 red and 12 blue plates. New obstacles and tighter grids increase the challenge as you advance. Plan ahead—stacking efficiently is key to avoiding dead ends. Why You'll Love It: Swipe-based movement with clever stacking logic. Bursts of chain reactions that feel super satisfying. Beautiful visuals and clean controls for relaxing, strategic play. Level progression that adds new color combinations and tighter limits. Ready to play a puzzle game that’s smooth, smart, and highly stackable? Swipe your way to victory!
