About

Layer Clash

Features
Read full description

Enter the world of Layer Clash, a unique card puzzle where strategy and timing collide. In Layer Clash, your goal is to clear stacks of layered cards by matching their outer colors. Pick cards from your deck, choose wisely among your three available hand slots, and place your card on any lane. If your card’s outer layer matches the front card’s outer layer in the lane, both layers vanish. Keep matching to break cards completely and clear the path. It will not be easy. Obstacles like Frozen Cards, Unknown Cards, Locked Lanes, and powerful Bomb and Rainbow Cards test your strategy skills. Use Bomb Cards to clear multiple lanes at once. Drop Rainbow Cards to match any color instantly. Deal with hidden Unknown Cards by clearing what is in front of them and unlock new lanes by collecting keys through smart matches. You must prevent the lanes from crossing the danger line. If the stack of cards in any lane crosses the dashed line, you lose. Finish your deck, clear your hand, and survive without crossing the line to win. Think ahead. Plan each move. Manage your deck, your hand, your trash, and your lanes. Every decision matters in Layer Clash, the ultimate test of layer-by-layer clearing and chain reactions. Are you ready to master the clash?

About

Boat Tracks

Features
Read full description

Read the clues, dig one canal from dock to dock, then watch the boats sail it. In Boat Tracks, each row and column shows a number for how many canal cells belong there. Work the route out one clue at a time, and the water starts to flow as you build it. When the last cell is in place, a convoy of boats sails the whole canal. How to Play • Read the number at the head of each row and column • Double-tap a cell to dig a piece of canal • Swipe across dug cells to connect them, or tap to mark land with an X • Tap a dug cell, then pick a straight or curved shape from the panel under the board Features • Each clue narrows where the water can go, and the route clicks into place one deduction at a time. A wrong dig costs a heart, so check before you dig • Stuck? Pilot explains one provable move in plain words, and Hint and Time Freeze are there too • Boards grow from 4x4 up to 10x10 across 1000 levels, with tunnels, bridges and hidden bridges as you progress, plus Hard and Super Hard levels • Every win ends with fireworks and a boat convoy that rides the full length of your canal • A tutorial and a how to play guide get you started, and a lost level can be revived with coins or a rewarded ad • Journey rewards, daily rewards and a win-streak event keep you going, and music, sound and haptics can be switched off Read a clue, dig a canal, and let the boats take the trip.
