About

Polipod

Read full description

Polipod is a free-to-play mobile puzzle game that demands spatial and algorithmic reasoning, for both casual and hardcore gamers. In the game, you inhabit a cube, called a Polipod, and your goal is to solve puzzles by rolling the cube into a hole in an isometric 3D environment. Along the way, the player Polipod encounters passive Polipods, called Dormipods. The player Polipod can attach itself to one or multiple Dormipods by rolling up next to it. This allows you as the player to become different shapes and sizes, which can dramatically change your movement and ability to progress through the levels. The big picture objective of the game is essentially to complete as many worlds as possible and compete for high scores. Each world consists of up to 10 levels. Completing a world grants you stars which can be used to unlock more worlds. You can choose to play worlds of varying difficulty and be rewarded accordingly. The player can also choose to play community created worlds and rate those worlds. In community created worlds, the completion rewards will be based on world rating rather than difficulty. In addition to using the stars (you earn by completing worlds) to unlock new worlds, the stars can be used to build a "home base". You can then choose to display your castle Oh so proudly in the background of the worlds you create yourself. One of the many things that makes Polipod special is the player's ability to create custom worlds and levels in an easy-to-use level creator. Apart from having complete freedom in building the actual playable area, the player can pick between different environments. The game is also committed to making the world a better place! The game includes the "Biopod" Polipod skin for which any revenue that is generated from it will go directly and completely toward a WFF.

About

Line Forge

Read full description

Line Forge is a numberlink puzzle game built around one idea: the puzzle should bend to you, not the other way around. Draw a line between every matching pair until each cell of the grid is filled. The rule is simple. What's different is everything around it. Forge your line. Your way. Most numberlink games push you through one linear progression. Line Forge gives you the whole catalog and lets you choose what to play, how to play, and where. A new puzzle every day if you want a daily ritual. One large puzzle per week if you want a fight. - 19,414 verified puzzles across 39 grid sizes โ€” squares from 5ร—5 to 20ร—20, plus 26 rectangular shapes - Daily Puzzle โ€” a new fixed puzzle every day, the same grid for everyone; build a streak - Weekly Challenge โ€” one large puzzle per week from the heavy-end pool (16ร—16 and up) - Filter by difficulty โ€” pick what fits your mood, not what the game decides for you - Pick your dimensions โ€” small grids for a quick reset, mid-size grids when you want to settle in - iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape โ€” every device and orientation built as first-class, not retrofitted. 20ร—20 grids fit on iPhone SE; 5ร—5s feel right on iPad Pro - Zoom and pan โ€” see the whole board or focus where you're thinking - Sync across your devices โ€” start on your iPhone, finish on your iPad. Streaks, completions, and your spot in the catalog follow you - Set the sound โ€” a metal track forged for the game, an ethereal alternative if you want quiet focus, or no music at all; mute is a first-class choice, not a buried setting - Hints when you need them โ€” first one each day is free; no manufactured paywalls Independently forged. Line Forge is built by Red Beard Foundry โ€” a solo indie studio in Indiana making software with deliberate craft. Every puzzle in the catalog has been solved and verified before it ships. The forge is the point. No ads between puzzles. No timer pressure outside the weekly challenge. No dark patterns. Remove ads with a one-time purchase if you want, or play free with light banner support. Forge your line.

Both are free to download. Polipod sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Line Forge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
