Discover the world with Travlink!, the ultimate geographical puzzle game! In Travlink!, your goal is to name and link the countries you’d need to pass through on a journey from one country to another in the shortest route possible. As you play, you’ll navigate through unique rules: bridges and tunnels count, but exclaves and remote territories do not. Special connections like Ireland to the United Kingdom and Indonesia to the mainland via Malaysia add to the challenge. However, some direct connections like Russia to Poland via Kaliningrad and Spain to Morocco via Ceuta or Melilla are excluded. Travlink also includes disputed territories such as Somaliland and treats regions like French Guiana as separate entities. Travlink! – Explore the World

About

Gridblitz

Read full description

Gridblitz is a block puzzle on an 8x8 board: fit the pieces, clear lines and push for a higher score every round. Drag a piece from the tray onto the board. Fill a whole row or column and it clears. Clear lines on back-to-back moves to build a streak, and every clear in the streak scores more. When none of your pieces fit, the round ends. TWO WAYS TO PLAY • Original: no timer. Take your time and plan each move. • Blitz: 10 seconds per piece. Place it before the clock runs out. • Close the app mid-round and you come right back to the same round. LEADERBOARDS • Original and Blitz each have an all-time board and a weekly board that starts fresh every Monday. • You join with your first finished round. No login and no email. Pick your own player name; names and scores are public. • Your profile shows your player name, your leaderboard places and your records in one place. • Rather not be on the boards? Turn them off in Settings > Privacy. That deletes your leaderboard account and its scores; your progress stays on your phone. SKINS AND THE CUSTOMIZER • Dress your blocks and your board in different skins. One tap wears a skin. • Unlock skins by reaching play goals or by watching optional video ads. • With Pro, the Customizer lets you make your own colours with a few simple sliders. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Sound, haptics, effects and assists are all adjustable, with a switch for each sound. • Colour marks put a small symbol on each block colour, and the game follows your iPhone's Reduce Motion setting. • Game sounds mix with your own music. • The game plays offline. Ads, purchases and leaderboards need a connection. FREE TO PLAY, OR GO PRO • Free play has a banner on Home and an occasional full-screen ad between finished rounds. Ads never interrupt a round in progress. • An optional video ad gives you one revive per round. • Gridblitz Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: no ads, every skin including the Customizer, and one revive per round without a video. Restore it any time from the Pro panel.
