Unblock and arrange the falling stones in this novel and innovative game of logic. The beautiful hand-crafted puzzles will relax you mind. Slide the blocks in the correct order to fit them into the target area. But watch out: Once the stones have fallen down, they cannot be moved upwards again. Finding the solution — when the last stone snaps into place — is a deeply satisfying experience. The name “Kestli” (pronounced KEST-lee) means “small boxes” in some German dialects and also sounds similar to the name of this game’s inventor, Johannes Kestler. Features: • Puzzle packs with various sizes and difficulty levels • Daily puzzles for your daily extra dose of joy • No internet connection required (except for downloading new puzzles) • Hints available if you are really stuck

About

Pair Pop

Read full description

Relax on sunlit tropical islands and solve clever puzzles where a single swipe moves every item at once. Pair Pop is a puzzle game built around smart decisions and a calm, satisfying gameplay experience. +++ No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. +++ Just a clean, focused logic experience from beginning to end. Each level takes place on a small island surrounded by the sea. The goal is simple: collect all items in matching pairs — such as crabs, coconuts, or flip-flops. Swipe left, right, up, or down and all items move together. They slide until they hit the edge of the board, another item, or an obstacle. Line up two identical items side by side, tap them to collect them, and clear all items from the island. As you progress, new gameplay elements are introduced gradually. Breakable obstacles, movable crates, locked items, and dark pits add depth to the puzzles — and sometimes a single wrong move can change everything. If you reach a dead end, you can safely step back to a previous state and try a different approach. And if you ever get truly stuck, Zen Mode gently shows the next steps with dream-like visuals — letting you return to normal gameplay at any time and continue on your own. Main features: * Unique “everything moves at once” puzzle gameplay * 70 handcrafted levels with a gradually rising difficulty * Safe undo options and Zen Mode for guided solutions * Cheerful tropical visuals with matching background music * Fully playable offline * Available in 7 languages Pair Pop is a short vacation for your brain.
