Boardy is an app for tracking level while playing board games, card games, etc. There are two options for tracking level: the card mode or the map mode. After you choose the mode, you will choose your meeple and give a name for it. You can level down by tapping the minus icon (-) or level up by tapping the plus icon (+) in the card mode. In map mode, you will just drag your meeple to the level that you belong. After your game is over, or just save the levels that you are, you can tap the “Save Game” button to get a screenshot. You can find your game history in the “Previous” section in the main menu. Also, you can use the app in dark or light mode and there is no need for an internet connection to use Boardy. English and Turkish languages are available.

Slide. Merge. Pop! Merge Stack: Color Block is the satisfying color puzzle that's easy to learn and hard to put down. Swipe to slide the blocks across the board, line up matching colors, and stack five of the same color to make them burst. One clean rule, endless clever moves. Every swipe shifts the whole board, so the fun is in planning ahead. Set up chains, clear crowded columns, and keep your grid open for the next move. Simple to pick up, tricky to master.
