In Roll, you have 2500 rolls to collect as many points as possible. Roll your dice to gain points, spend your points to upgrade your dice, and repeat. Borrowing gameplay elements from strategy, clicker, and roguelike deckbuilder genres, Roll creates a perfect balance of relaxation with critical thinking. While the "Clicker"/"Incremental" genre is not known for its variety or depth of game mechanics, Roll offers a unique dicebuilding system which allows you to explore different strategies and synergies between upgrades. Each run will present you with new and interesting decisions creating a huge depth of strategy and keeping the game feeling always fresh. Roll is designed to be a relaxing and meditative experience. Get lost in the satisfying sounds and effects as all your worries melt away. From the minimalistic UI to the slow peaceful music, everything was designed to create the perfect zen environment. If you enjoy building an engine and watching it grow, chasing down highscores, or just need to escape from your own thoughts, then I really hope you'll enjoy my game, Roll. :)

Every grid is a new puzzle. Can you light them all up? Kablink is back. Originally released over 15 years ago as "Cablink", this tile-rotation puzzle game has been rebuilt for modern iOS — and now runs on iPhone and iPad. The goal is simple: connect every tile back to the power source. Tap to rotate, think ahead, and watch the grid come alive as connections snap into place. EASY TO PICK UP, HARD TO PUT DOWN Each puzzle is a randomized grid of tiles with connectors on their edges. Rotate them until every tile links back to the power source. It sounds simple, but larger grids and advanced options will test even experienced puzzle solvers. ENDLESS VARIETY - Square or hexagonal grids - Sizes from 4x4 up to 15x15 - Edge wrap mode where opposite sides connect - Frozen mode that limits movable tiles to neighbors of powered tiles - Blackout mode that hides unpowered tiles until you connect them - Combine modes for a custom challenge CHALLENGE FRIENDS Every puzzle has a unique shareable code. Send it to a friend and see who can solve the same puzzle in fewer moves. NO ADS. NO INTERNET REQUIRED. Kablink works completely offline. No accounts, no sign-ups, no interruptions. Just puzzles.
