Simple to learn. Surprisingly deep to master. Daxtle is a beautifully minimalist puzzle game that will twist your brain in the best way. Slide colored blocks across clever, irregular grids to land each one on its matching target — sounds easy, right? Think again. Here's the twist: every block has a fixed direction — it can only ever move one way. A single swipe moves all blocks sharing that direction at once, and a moving block will push anything in its path. One wrong swipe can ruin it all. Think ahead and plan your chain reactions. Made a mistake? Double-tap to undo — anytime, as many times as you need. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT - 85+ hand-crafted levels across 6 chapters — each one a unique, satisfying puzzle to solve - Challenge mode: race against a 90-second master timer — each solve adds bonus time. How far can you streak? Compete on the Game Center leaderboard! - Surprising mechanics introduced chapter by chapter: multi-color blocks, destroy blocks, and teleport portals keep things fresh - Gorgeous, calm design — no ads, no timers, no distractions - Every single level is free from the start — nothing locked behind a paywall - Undo anytime with a double-tap — experiment freely - Hints when you need a nudge - Light, Dark, and Auto theme — plays beautifully day or night - Satisfying haptic feedback and an original soundtrack that makes every solve feel great - Works offline — no internet required SUPPORT INDIE GAMES Every level, every mode — totally free. If you enjoy it, a one-time $1.99 supporter upgrade unlocks 5 hints every 8h and helps keep the game alive. No subscriptions, no ads — just an indie dev building puzzles with love.
