NO ADS, NO IN-APP PURCHASES. Platformer and word guessing game handmade for mobile and tablet! Fling yourself through 4 unique worlds, unlocking abilities and creatively using stage mechanics to make it through. Test your action skills or your word guessing skills. Your new word building game.

FEATURES - Special Cards: Abilities you collect that can only be used one time for a single level. - Boss Battles: Each world ends with a boss battle where there are no guesses - you must collect all the letters to blast them to pieces. - Endless Run: Play forever mode to try to beat the most levels in a row without losing. - Challenges: Complete the world challenges and unlock extra challenge levels to get more special cards. Hit birds, finish levels in one life and countless others. - Stage Mechanics: Each world has multiple devices: vortexes, cannons, moving platforms and many more. GAME MODES - Classic: Use your three lives to fling yourself across the levels collecting letters and guessing the word each life. - Action: No word guessing, you have to figure out what word you're spelling to decide where to launch across the screen. All action, all creative platforming. Unlocked on finishing the game in Classic mode. This is a solo hand crafted game made by Nat Russell and I'm trying to bring back what phone games were really about - buying a game for a small price and playing it. Human made - no A.I. was used in any way, ever.

Arrange a grid of tiles into the correct order by spinning wheels to swap the tile positions. It's part Rubik's Cube, part 15-Slider, part Wordle. Imagine taking a solved Rubik's Cube and shuffling it with five random moves. Now you know that it can be solved in five by reversing those moves. Par Score puzzles are like that. The goal is to reverse the computer's secret shuffle, so the solutions are just a few moves. Simple - but not easy! Comes in Number and Word flavours. Random wheel arrangements, random words and random shuffling moves ensure that you never get the same puzzle twice. Word puzzles are twice the challenge, because you don't know what the words are when you start the puzzle. Watch out for 'red herrings' (words that appear by chance but that aren't part of the solution). Think you're fast? Challenge another player to a race! The winner gains rating points. It's called SpinShuffle Arena. Auto-generated puzzles are fully playable offline (a connection is needed for downloading Daily Challenge puzzles or playing Arena matches).
