About

Road Place

Features
Read full description

Every entry sends cars of one colour and wants them back from its pair. Your job is the roads between them: streets, avenues and autobahns that stretch and bend to meet whatever you point at, roundabouts, junctions with lights you can program, flyovers, ramps and a whole diamond interchange in one tap. The cars are real traffic. They queue, change lanes, give way on the ring, pick a turn by colour and pay a fare at the right exit. Sports cars pay extra for a smooth ride; a car at a wrong exit costs you. Roads wear and need repair. Nothing fails a round but your own restart, so take your time. Each round is a quest line of nine contracts: a first car home, rush hour, an express run, freight to a town, twin towns, a clean sheet, and a finale that pays for the next round. Towns stand on the land from round two, their gates entries like any other, and a car from one town to another pays double. The campaign is fifty fixed levels in five chapters, Village, Town, Highway, Metropolis and Dubai, each scored one to three stars against a measured par. Free play goes on for ever, with every block from the start. Dubai: the sand, the palms, the Downtown with its Burj Khalifa, towers that light up at night, and the widest roads in the game.

Read full description

Maze Slash is a tactical swipe puzzle — simple to pick up, hard to master. Each swipe sends your hero dashing in a straight line until a wall stops them, slashing every monster on the path. Solve 50+ handcrafted pixel-art dungeons, find the perfect order of slashes, and beat the boss — all offline, no wifi needed. Order matters. Direction matters. Every move counts. One wasted swipe and the room locks you in. WHAT YOU GET • 50+ handcrafted dungeon puzzles + a multi-HP boss to close Dungeon 1 • One-finger controls — swipe, dash, slash, repeat • Pure puzzle design: no random, no grind, just the right move • Undo button for the brave (and the over-confident) • Crisp pixel art with a CRT-style filter • Portrait, one hand, perfect for a 30-second break or a long session • 100% offline — no wifi, no ads tracking you MECHANICS Switches that open doors. Floor traps that punish lazy swipes. Shielded enemies you only kill from behind. A boss who jumps across the grid. Each level is a clean little brain teaser disguised as an action game. A dungeon crawler for puzzle players, an action game for tacticians. Start swiping.
