Stranded is a word puzzle game made by an indie developer. It's played on a 6x8 grid of letters, where the goal is to find themed words by connecting letters that are adjacent or diagonal to each other. Words can form in winding paths, but each letter can only be used once per word. The unique twist of Stranded is a key word that connects two opposite sides of the board and embodies the puzzle's theme. Players also earn hints by finding non-themed words, making it easier to identify the themed words as they go along. The game offers unlimited challenges, and the theme is often hinted at rather than directly stated, adding an element of mystery. It’s a blend of word search with more strategy, similar to popular theme grouping games but more complex in its path-based word finding​.

About

Ramp Panic

Features

Launching a boat looks easy — until it's your turn. The ramp is wet, the wind is up, there's a line of trucks behind you, and everyone's watching. Ramp Panic is the boat-ramp comedy simulator built on real articulated-trailer and buoyancy physics. Don't jackknife. Don't flood the truck. Don't be THAT guy at the ramp. IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THE PHYSICS ARE REAL There are no scripted pratfalls here. Every jackknife, every flooded cab, every boat that floats away is a real physics engine doing exactly what it should. Back the trailer too sharp and it folds and binds, just like steel. Ease the boat into the float zone and she lifts off the bunks — back in too far and water reaches the cab and the engine drowns. A RAMP THAT FIGHTS YOU Wet concrete is slippery. Wind catches the hull like a sail. Add tide, chop and a shoving river current and every launch is a fresh negotiation with physics. Four locations, each with its own slope, wind, tide and current: • Still Lake, MN — glassy water, nobody waiting (where you learn) • Haulover-style, FL — Saturday, high tide, a packed ramp and a long honking line • River Ramp, TX — the current shoves you sideways the whole way down • Cold Swell, Great Lakes — rolling swell on a steep, narrow strip of concrete LAUNCH AND RETRIEVE Two ways to sweat. Launch: back down, float her off, cleat the line, pull the truck out. Retrieve: back the empty trailer to the floating boat, winch her on, and haul her up the ramp without holding up the line. A GARAGE THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS This isn't a paint shop. A jet ski floats off in inches; a heavy runabout cruiser needs real depth. A grippy pickup holds concrete a lifted off-roader spins on. Five boats and five tow vehicles — pickup, SUV, off-road, classic and camper van — each looks and handles differently. SETTLE IT IN THE GROUP CHAT Ramp Panic ships a full iMessage app. Challenge a friend to any ramp without leaving Messages — they back the same boat down the same ramp, in the same wind and tide, and the fastest clean run wins. The physics are deterministic, so it's a fair fight every time. PLAY IT YOUR WAY • Instant replay of every run, looping right on the result screen • Four control schemes: on-screen steering wheel, slider, jog buttons, or an MFi / Xbox / PlayStation game controller • One-handed mode and an iPad landscape layout • Game Center leaderboards — total stars and a best time for every ramp • Community ramps: play, favourite, and publish your own • Localised in English, 简体中文, Español, Português and Deutsch FAIR AND SIMPLE Free to download and play. One optional PRO unlock opens every chapter and every boat and truck in the garage. It's a one-time purchase — no subscription, nothing auto-renews, and there are no ads, ever. Now back it down, float it off, and get out before they honk.
