Stretch Away
Read full descriptionHide full description
One stroke to the end, perfect! This is a casual game. In the game, when players install the screen, the pencil will extend and draw lines along the road. Theoretically, the pencil can extend infinitely, but there will be various mechanisms on the road. If any part of the pencil touches the mechanism, the game will end. Therefore, what players need to do is to reasonably adjust the time they hold the screen each time, control the length of the pencil, avoid various mechanisms, and reach the finish line step by step. This is a challenge that requires the coordination of eyes and hands.
Block Puzzle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Block Puzzle is an easy-to-play, hard-to-put-down block-filling puzzle game. Place a stream of randomly generated shapes onto the board, plan your layout carefully, and keep the grid under control. Whenever you complete a full row or a full column, it clears instantly—freeing space and boosting your score. Beyond classic line clears, the game adds a unique strategic twist: the board contains four dark 3×3 zones. If you fully fill any one of these dark 3×3 areas, it also triggers a clear, giving you a powerful way to recover from tight situations. Balancing row/column clears with smart 3×3 zone fills is the key to high scores. With quick sessions and satisfying chain reactions, every move matters. You’ll need sharp observation and forward planning to avoid running out of space and to push your best score higher and higher. Perfect for a relaxing break or a serious high-score challenge.
