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. Includes an endless mode to try and make it on the leaderboard. Robots have taken everything. It's up to you - an egg - to unlock all 100 stage doors and smash the Robo-Super-Boss into bits. 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.

This app is a pocket card lounge that bundles three handcrafted card experiences into one slick, landscape-only app. Test your nerve in Face Your Fears — a 7-round Blackjack tournament where every hand counts. Untangle 104 cards across ten columns in Aether Coord, our take on Spider Solitaire. Or step away from the table and design your own playing card from scratch in the Card Maker studio. How to Play • Face Your Fears : Tap HIT to draw another card or STAND to lock your hand and let the dealer play. Beat the dealer's total without crossing 21 — bust and you lose the round. The dealer must keep drawing until they reach 17 or higher. Win the most rounds out of 7 to take the tournament. • Aether Coord : Drag any face-up card onto a column whose top card is exactly one rank higher; runs of the same suit can be moved as a group. Tap the stock pile (top-left) to deal a fresh card to every column when you're stuck — every column must hold at least one card first. Complete a full K → A run in a single suit and it auto-clears to the foundation. Clear all 8 suits to win. • Card Maker : Pick a suit and rank on the right-hand panel, then style your card with backgrounds, borders, patterns, face-card art (Classic, Royal, Modern, Minimal, Ornate), corner radius, glow, shadow, and a custom label. Pinch to zoom, drag to move, tap the card to flip it. Benefits • Every screen is laid out for landscape phones and tablets, with proper safe-area insets and UI that scales to the device. • Dashboard shows total plays, wins, win rate and time; History lists every session with filter chips by game. • Every change in the Card Maker reflects in real-time on the preview, side menu state is preserved, and tap-to-flip lets you check the back of the card before saving.
