With smooth gameplay, intuitive controls, and full gesture support, players can enjoy a challenging yet relaxing experience.

Gameplay 15 Puzzle features grids with 9, 16, or 25 cells, offering varying levels of difficulty to suit all skill levels. Your objective is to arrange the numbered tiles in ascending order within the grid. For example, in a 4×4 grid, you'll need to arrange the numbers from 1 to 15. The grid contains one empty cell, allowing you to slide adjacent tiles into the empty space. To move a tile, simply tap, click, or use gestures. If the tile is adjacent to the empty cell, it will slide into the empty space. Continue sliding the tiles strategically until you've arranged them in the correct order, ensuring the empty cell ends up in the bottom-right corner. This game was created to demonstrate how a single codebase can power a game across major platforms while maintaining excellent accessibility.

Nono Blocks Formula is a nonogram logic puzzle game. Use the number clues beside each row and above each column to determine which cells should be dark and which should be crossed out. Each number represents a group of consecutive dark cells. Fill every cell correctly to complete the puzzle. When a row or column matches its clues, the hint numbers turn green. On lower-density levels, the clues may allow more than one possible arrangement. Green means that a row or column fits its clues, but the full grid must still match the puzzle's solution. If all hints are green but the level is not complete, revisit places where more than one arrangement was possible and try a different one. More than 100 levels become progressively more challenging as you advance. Play with simple tap controls on iPhone and iPad, or use a mouse on Mac. Key Features: - Over 100 levels, from beginner to advanced difficulty. - Simple and intuitive controls. - Leaderboards to track your progress and compete with others. - Full VoiceOver support for accessible play. Whether you're new to nonograms or an experienced solver, Nono Blocks Formula offers increasingly challenging logic puzzles as you progress.
