ShiftOut is a puzzle where your moves turn into music. You push blocks across the board to place them on target tiles, and each move sounds like a piano key. As you solve a level, a melody composes itself. What's inside — Dozens of levels: from gentle warm-ups to puzzles worth a cup of tea — Real piano samples instead of the usual beeps — No timers, no lives, no ads mid-move — Minimal visuals — nothing in the way — One-handed play — perfect on the go or before sleep Who it's for Fans of calm puzzles in the spirit of Monument Valley, and lovers of classic block-pushers like Sokoban. Adults unwinding after work, kids who want to think — here you can't lose, only think again. How to play Swipe, and a block slides until it hits something. Place every block on its target. Sounds simple — wait until level ten. Turn the sound on, and try it.
PushGrid

PushGrid is a focused, portrait puzzle game about reading a room before you move. Push boxes onto goals, open the exit, and escape compact grid chambers where every swipe changes the state of the board. A path that looks obvious can strand a crate, close a door, waste a bridge, or leave you one step from a clean solution. What you play: - 50 handcrafted chambers across 5 worlds - Swipe-based movement built for portrait play - Boxes, goals, exits, pressure plates, doors, holes, fragile floors, and spikes - Built-in undo and reset for fast experimentation - Local progress, level unlocks, and return visits - Optional hints for when a route needs a nudge The rules are visible. The punishment is fair. The challenge is finding the order that keeps the room alive until every goal is solved. PushGrid is for players who like compact logic puzzles, clean cause and effect, and the moment when one careful move makes the whole board make sense.
