«Vive le Roi 3» is a puzzle and anticipation game, without chance or timing, based on mini puzzles to be solved by choosing the right ladder on each floor to reach the king and save him from his executioner. Inspired by the concept of labyrinths, the originality of «Vive le Roi 3» is to be able to modify the state of the active elements of the levels according to your choices. The levels are made up of numerous obstacles, such as doors, monsters, moving guards, tunnels… They are also made up of multicolored switches allowing to invert the states of the obstacles in order to clear a path. Crowns are placed at the end of the level and the player will have to collect them in order to collect all the cards of the kings of France. The game features 1000 levels and 66 kings to collect.

Pufferblocks is a one-thumb block puzzle with a twist no other puzzle has: every piece is a pressurised gas chamber. Drop pieces to complete lines and VENT them — and the gas physically blasts sideways into the blocks next door, over-inflating them until they POP in chain reactions. But every pop leaves wreckage that clogs the board. Chains clear space now and seed trouble later. Read the pressure, or watch it all blow. It's a real economy, not a reskin. Placement, venting, rupture chains and wreckage all feed one risk-reward loop you won't find anywhere else. WHY YOU'LL STAY • Risk pays — the fullest, highest-pressure pieces score the most, if you dare place them. Greed is a perfectly good strategy until it isn't. • Combo streaks, CLEAN SWEEP all-clears, and a "Gas Leak" fever mode when the board tips into glorious chaos. • A daily challenge where the whole world gets the exact same pieces — with its own global leaderboard. Same hand, same day, no excuses. • An adaptive soundtrack that literally speeds up as your board fills and your streak climbs. The band plays faster the hotter it gets. • Three block styles, including a default where every block has a face — and the face itself swells as the pressure rises. • Slapstick, never gross-out: cartoon clouds, a cheeky raspberry of brass, and the occasional perfectly-timed sad trombone. A PREMIUM GAME, THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY • Pay once. Play forever. • No ads. Ever. • No in-app purchases. No subscriptions. • No tracking, no accounts, no nonsense — your game stays on your device. Easy to pick up in one thumb. Hard to put down once the chains start going off. Welcome to Pufferblocks.
