Squell is a casual spelling game that challenges your vocabulary and your spatial reasoning. Imagine Boggle got a little too friendly with a Rubik's cube and you've got Squell. Rearrange a grid of letters to spell words. How many moves you make matters, but get good and keep the game going to rack up tons of points. Squell games are controlled by how many moves you make, so you play it at your own pace. It's a great game to put down and come back to later, since all progress is saved on your device as you play and you can always review the words you've already spelled. It works offline, so it's great on a plane, a train, or in that waiting room with no cell service. Squell is simple to play, but with plenty of strategies to uncover and master, you'll come back to it again and again!
Rogue Matrix
Read full descriptionHide full description
Swipe. Calculate. Survive. Navigate a shifting 4x4 numbers grid where every single move is a tactical chess match. How long can you outsmart the matrix? One grid. Four colours. Infinite calculated risks. Rogue Matrix is a minimalist turn-based dungeon crawler, stripped down to its absolute essence. There are no complex menus, no fluff, and no loading screens-just you, a 4x4 grid, and a brutal mathematical puzzle where survival depends entirely on your next swipe.
