GameCache
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

SUN … FLOWER … POT One word sits in the middle and finishes them both. That's the whole game. Connect Them is a cosy word puzzle about the links hiding between everyday words. , no adverts. Just you, a warm cup of a puzzle, and a small owl called Otto who wears reading glasses and means well. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Daily — five links, once a day. Build a streak, then share the result without spoiling a single answer. Blitz — two minutes on the clock. How many can you link before it runs out? Cozy Endless — no clock at all. Keep going until three slip past you. OVER 1,500 PUZZLES Every link is a real compound word or a phrase people actually say, checked against real-world usage rather than pulled from a dusty dictionary. The Daily walks a fixed order, so nothing repeats until you've seen everything — more than a year of puzzles. EARN YOUR HINTS Hints cost corn, and corn is earned by playing well. Solve without help and you're paid more. String answers together and the bonuses grow. Come back tomorrow and there's more waiting. Stuck is always temporary. BUILT TO BE HEARD Connect Them was designed with VoiceOver in mind from the start, not bolted on afterwards. • Every puzzle, button and score reads clearly with VoiceOver • Results, hints and corn are announced as they happen • Focus moves to each new puzzle automatically • The answer submits itself on the last letter — no hunting for a button • Extra time in Blitz when a screen reader is running, so the clock is fair • Prefer to play with your eyes closed? Turn on Read Puzzles Aloud and the game narrates every clue in its own voice, at a speed you choose NO ADVERTS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO ACCOUNT.
