A game inspired by Into the Breach and Baba is You in which you push enemy robots into water by moving the earth beneath your feet! Push tiles by tapping an adjacent tile in your desired direction. When you do, your tile pushes every other solid (non-water) tile in front of you in that direction. You cannot, however, push toward a mountain tile. Whenever you move, each enemy's action timer decreases by one. When it reaches zero, they attack the endangered space(s) in front of them. Destroy enemies or tiles by pushing them off of the edge or into chasms. Destroy all enemies without dying to complete the level!

Read full descriptionHide full description
Number Needs Space! is a clean logic puzzle where every move matters. Place numbers on the board without letting consecutive values become neighbors. Simple rule, sharp decisions: 1 can’t touch 2, 2 can’t touch 3, and diagonal contact counts too. Plan ahead, read the board, use the upcoming numbers, and keep enough space for the next move. Each level is short, satisfying, and built around one clear idea: numbers need room to breathe. Features: • Simple one-rule number puzzle • Diagonal adjacency matters • Quick levels for short sessions • Queue-based planning • Undo and hint support • Clean board-focused design Find the right space. Keep the numbers apart.
