Bring Bellhaven back to light, one window at a time. Glowmender is a cozy stained-glass restoration game built around thoughtful rotation puzzles. Tap a pane to turn it, reconnect the light, and watch a forgotten window glow again. RESTORE A TOWN Repair 60 handcrafted windows across seven places, from the Old Library and Coastal Light to the Mountain Observatory. Each finished window returns warmth and color to Bellhaven, and completing a building marks a lasting restoration. SOLVE AT YOUR OWN PACE There are no timers and no lives to lose. Every puzzle is a calm spatial challenge: light every pane, guide the glow to its destination, and leave no leaks around the frame. Use hints when you want a gentle hand. A NEW WINDOW EVERY MORNING Daily Light offers a fresh puzzle each day. Missed days never reset your progress, and there are no leaderboards or streak pressure. KEEP EVERY RESTORATION Visit your collection to revisit restored glass, read its workshop note, and discover the inspiration behind each design. Progress syncs through iCloud when available. FEATURES • Cozy, one-hand-friendly stained-glass puzzles • 60 town windows across seven buildings • 27 Daily Light designs • Deterministic puzzles with no random failure • Optional hints, undo, inspect, and restart tools • Warm original workshop ambience and haptics • iCloud progress sync • VoiceOver-friendly puzzle labels and controls • No ads The Old Library and Daily Light are free to play.
