We’re a small team, and OLO is the game we most love to play. People tell us they play it with their family, over dinner with friends, or on a date, and honestly that’s the nicest thing we hear. It’s a minimalist board game about skill and a little bit of cunning. Slide your OLOs toward your zone, nudge your opponents’ out of the way, and try not to get caught by the death finger. Easy to pick up in seconds, hard to put down, and best played shoulder to shoulder on one device. Play it two ways: head to head with one friend, or four of you together around the screen. Perfect for family, friends, or a date. The idea is simple: get as many of your OLOs into your target zone as you can. The fun is in how you do it, a gentle tap, a bold shove, or a well-timed bit of mischief to send someone else off course. It was an App Store Editors’ Choice worldwide and a Game of the Year runner-up, and it reached #1 in 22 countries. But we’re proudest that people still sit down and play it years later. What people have said: “OLO is one of the classiest productions you’ll ever see on iOS, a minimalist multiplayer game that’s as achingly gorgeous as it is perfectly tuned” — Eurogamer “A nearly perfect multiplayer game that’s as simple as it is beautiful” — Slide to Play “10/10. Its amazing that how a very simple concept can be so entertaining and addictive” — Action Radius “Internet craze OLO, ‘the Skee-Ball for the 21st century’” — The Daily Mail “Puzzling Fun for the Whole Family” — iPhoneAlley Inside: - A fresh, minimal design that gets out of the way - Two player, head to head - Four player, all together on one device - No internet needed, play anywhere - No ads, no in-app purchases, the whole game is yours - A calm, beautiful soundscape - Lots of colour themes to make it yours Thanks for taking a look. We hope OLO finds a place at your table.

From Everfrost to Bellsong, many a peaceful year has passed in Everdell — but the time has come for new territories to be settled and new cities to be established... Adapted from the award-winning board game from Tabletop Tycoon, Everdell is a fantastical city building game combining worker placement and strategic card play to create a new civilization. Gather resources to build fanciful Constructions and recruit colorful Critters to make your city thrive. Each card in your city scores points, and after four seasons have passed the highest-scoring city wins! Face off against other founders in cross-platform multiplayer games, or test your civic wits with AI play and Solo Challenges! On each turn, you'll take one of three actions: 1.) Place a Worker. Send one of your helpful workers out into the valley to gather resources! Berries, Twigs, Resin, Pebbles...and of course Cards! You'll need them all to help your new civilization grow. 2.) Play a Card. Your city can hold up to 15 Construction and Critter cards. Cards generate resources, open up new abilities, and score points to win the game! Discover combos and synergies to race past your opponents. 3.) Prepare for the Next Season. When the seasons change, your workers come home and get ready for the next round. But plan your city carefully! After four seasons, the Winter Moon returns and the game will end. There are buildings to construct, lively characters to meet, events to host— you will have a busy year ahead of you! Will the sun shine brightest on your city before the winter moon rises? Welcome to Everdell!
