Water Mania is a fresh take on the classic water sorting puzzle. It’s simple to pick up, yet full of clever twists that will keep your mind engaged for hours. Your goal is to sort the colors so that each bottle contains only one color. But here's the twist—many bottles are sealed in dirt and can't be touched. To unlock them, you’ll need to collect fully sorted bottles, which then break the surrounding dirt and open up new possibilities. Every move counts, and every completed bottle creates new chances to strategize. With intuitive controls, smooth 3D animations, and beautifully designed levels, Water Mania offers a satisfying mix of relaxation and mental challenge. As you progress, new mechanics and obstacles will keep the gameplay fresh and surprising. Whether you’re a casual player or a puzzle pro, Water Mania delivers a fun and rewarding experience from the first pour to the final drop. Download now and see how far your sorting skills can take you.

Aim. Match. Blast. Dye Hard is a colour-matching shooter puzzle. Deploy your coloured squad, line them up against the lanes ahead, and clear the horde before it reaches you. Every unit only fires at its own colour — so the real puzzle is who you send, and when. HOW IT PLAYS • Tap to deploy a unit from your tray onto the board • Only the frontmost unit fires, so ordering is everything • Every unit carries limited ammo — waste it and the lane keeps coming • Welded squads move as one block. Break them up or use them as a wall • Camouflaged units hide their true colour until they reach the front BOOSTERS FOR TIGHT SPOTS • Add Tray — one more slot to work with • Hand — pull a unit back out of trouble • Shuffle — redeal the board when nothing lines up • Super Shooter — clear a lane the loud way KEEP PLAYING • Hundreds of handcrafted levels, with more added over time • Daily rewards that build up the longer you keep your streak • A Battle Pass season with unlockable rewards on every tier • Season League — climb the ranks against other players • Add friends and compare scores on your own leaderboard Dye Hard is free to play. It includes optional in-app purchases and ads, and an optional purchase to remove ads. Play in English, Turkish, German or French.
