Read full description

Solitaire Chess is a single-player siege puzzle played on a hexagonal honeycomb board. Pick your side and outwit a sharp AI — every move is a plan. [How it plays] ‧ Two sides, two strategies: as the Attacker, break out from the center and thread along the honeycomb paths to land on any red goal node on the rim; as the Defender, wall the attacker in before it can escape. ‧ A real AI opponent, powered by Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), with Relaxed and Standard strengths — it never plays soft. ‧ Adjustable board size: radius 10–20 — the larger the board, the deeper the play. ‧ A rule with depth: the Defender can leap diagonally across a complete hexagon. ‧ Multiple board themes you can switch instantly, mid-game. ‧ Touch-mode toggle: "Place" and "Move board" are separate, so panning and zooming never drops a stone by accident. ‧ Stats: win rate and match history at a glance. [Who it's for] ‧ Fans of abstract strategy — chess, Go, and tactics games ‧ Anyone who wants to sharpen logic and spatial thinking in a single match ‧ A quick brain workout for your commute or lunch break [Privacy & offline] ‧ Fully offline — no account, no network required ‧ No ads, no tracking, no personal data collected ‧ All records stay on your device only ‧ Independently built by Intoxicated Child Studio [Free to play, Pro to unlock] The game is free to play. A one-time Pro unlock (non-consumable, yours forever) opens up larger boards, the Standard AI, full stats history, and every theme. Customers who bought the earlier paid version are granted Pro automatically — no repurchase needed. Set your siege on the honeycomb

GameCache

A shelf of proper little games that work anywhere — free, and none of it needs a connection. GameCache is not a menu of the same puzzle in nine colours. Every game was built to its own rules, with its own board, its own records and its own three difficulties. WHAT IS IN IT • Puzzle — Blockfall, Cascade, Sudoku, Inkgrid, Flow, Decant, Unblock, Slide, Blackout • Word — Word Guess, Anagram Rush, Cryptogram, Honeycomb, Letterfield, Rung, Hangman • Arcade — Snake, Brick Breaker, Lightspeed, Spire, Sea Dodger, Crosstown, Mini Golf • Card — Solitaire, Spider, FreeCell, Pyramid, Three Peaks, Golf • Casino — Blackjack, Video Poker, Baccarat, Roulette, Hi-Lo, Nova Reels • Strategy — Minesweeper, Four Down, Five Line, Reversi, Boxes • Sports — Eight Ball, Darts 501, Pin Alley, Rainmaker, Slipstream • Brain — Quickfire, Outlier, Echo, Memory Match, Reaction • Idle — Coin Press, Deep Mine, Merge Cache ...and more added regularly. BUILT TO BE PLAYED, NOT FARMED Easy, medium and hard on every game, and a separate record for each one. Walk away in the middle of a game and it is exactly where you left it when you come back — board, clock and all. A Game of the Day picks something when you cannot decide. Search by name or filter by genre when you can. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No accounts. No sign-up. Nothing gated behind an unlock — every game is there from the first launch. And it genuinely does not need the internet. Not "works offline after you download the levels" — the whole thing runs on your device, on a plane, on the underground, in a basement, at the far end of a car park.
