About

Sand Cubes Paint

Features
Read full description

In Sand Cubes you need to unblock lots of cubes of sand in order to paint beautiful pictures of landmarks, nature or food! Only when you are able to strategically unblock all Sand Cubes, you will be able to finalize the picture and proceed to the next level. But watch out, there are many obstacles in this game, such as Ice Cubes that need to melt or mysteriously locked areas that you first need to unlock. Enjoy the hundreds of beautifully crafted levels.

About

Arrow Flow App

Features
Read full description

ArrowFlow is a calm, hand-crafted puzzle about clearing a board, one arrow at a time. Every level starts with a small grid of bent, snake-like arrows. Tap one and it slides off the board in the direction it points โ€” but only if its path is clear. Find the right order. Empty the board. Move on. No timers. No ads. No accounts. Just you and the puzzle. โ€” FEATURES โ€” โ€ข 30 hand-tuned levels, easing from one-tap warm-ups to multi-step deductions โ€ข Shape levels: arrows arranged into a heart, a star, a cake, and more โ€ข Three hearts per attempt โ€” think before you tap โ€ข Built-in hint when youโ€™re stuck โ€ข Five color themes, light and dark, with a tasteful clay aesthetic โ€ข Crisp haptics and short, mixable sound cues that respect your music โ€ข Fully offline. No tracking. No accounts. No data leaves your device. โ€ข Universal iPhone, designed for one-handed play โ€” HOW IT PLAYS โ€” Each arrow is a piece with a head and a tail. Tap the piece โ€” it straightens, slides head-first toward the edge, and exits the board. If anything blocks its path, the tap costs a heart and the piece shudders in place. Three blocked taps and the round ends. Solving a level is about reading dependencies. Sometimes the right move is the one you can see the whole path for. Sometimes you have to remove a small piece first to free a longer one. The board never moves on its own โ€” every change comes from your tap. โ€” DESIGNED FOR YOUR HANDS โ€” Big tap targets. Soft, springy buttons. A gentle exit animation that snakes each piece out of its burrow head-first. The arrow style adapts to the theme you pick: clean rounded ribbons, neon glow, brutal mono-line. Pick the one that fits your mood. โ€” A NOTE ON PRIVACY โ€” ArrowFlow is single-player and offline. Progress, your chosen theme, and your sound preference are saved on your device only. Nothing is uploaded. There are no third-party SDKs. There is nothing to opt out of. If you have feedback, the support email is in the App Store listing โ€” we read everything.
