[TRY BEFORE YOU BUY!] A beloved PC game, now coming to mobile. Metacritic: 83. Very Positive on STEAM - 90%. Drop Duchy takes the iconic geometric puzzle gameplay we all know and love and gives it a fresh perspective: instead of simply clearing lines, you build a realm. A mix of deckbuilding, puzzle and rogue-lite, designed to hone your appetite as a block-stacking tactician. Place tile pieces as you would in a block-dropping game, but align them to maximize their activation rules. Set the right structures next to lush forests, wild rivers and grassy plains to pull out maximum resources and units. Then gather your troops, reclaim the regions under enemy control, and storm the enemy fortress along branching, decision-filled paths. Let your castle take too much damage and the run ends - but defeat is not the end: jump straight back in with a new strategy, and use the experience gained to unlock even more content. Grow in power with over 110 unique cards, trade with markets and guilds, and climb a meta progression of over 90 missions tied to three playable factions: The Duchy, The Order and The Republic. Adapt, conquer, and keep the action moving!

Get ready for some pure, unadulterated country vengeance - powered by wildly funny ragdoll physics! Redneck Mayhem is a hilarious, physics-based slingshot game where small-town grit takes on the modern world. Follow three fed-up local heroes as they lock, load, and launch random junk, and eventually themselves at the professions that drive them crazy. The Mission: Unleash the Mayhem! Meet the crew: Hank: The grease-monkey mechanic who knows exactly how to dismantle a structure. Earl: The hard-working farmer who has zero patience for city nonsense. Tucker: The proudly unemployed wildcard who is just here for the chaos. They've had enough of the modern world and are taking aim at a rogues' gallery of modern irritants: corrupt banksters, crooked politicians, pretentious baristas, overly trendy barbers, and package-dropping couriers. Load up your oversized slingshot with whatever scrap is lying around the yard - hammers, explosive barrels, heavy wheels, and wooden boxes. When you run out of ammo and things get desperate, it's time for the ultimate weapon: launching the rednecks themselves directly into enemy lines! Settle the Score in Two-Player Versus Mode! Think you're the best shot in the county? Take the destruction head-to-head! Challenge a friend locally or test your skills against a CPU opponent across adjustable difficulties and maps to see who can wreak the most havoc and claim ultimate bragging rights. Unpredictable ragdoll physics guarantee you'll laugh out loud at every crash! Pull back the slingshot, unleash the mayhem, and show those city slickers how real country folks solve problems!
