Limit Line is a minimalist yet deeply strategic number-balancing puzzle. Place numbers along a single horizontal line and split them into left and right segments. Your goal is simple: keep both sides within the limit and minimize the difference between them. Behind this simplicity lies a surprisingly rich set of decisions that challenge logic, intuition, and spatial arrangement. Core Gameplay Drag and place numeric tokens freely along the line. Numbers positioned near the center line determine whether they belong to the left or the right side. Keep both sums below the limit for the stage. Achieve the smallest possible difference for a higher rank. Game Modes Classic Mode Solve each stage at your own pace with no time pressure. Timed Mode Complete as many puzzles as possible before the countdown reaches zero. Accuracy and speed are both rewarded. Endless Mode Face an infinite stream of puzzles with gradually tightening limits. Precision and long-term strategy are essential. Daily Challenge A unique puzzle is available once per day. One attempt only. Your result is permanently recorded. Level Design More than 150 handcrafted levels with increasing complexity. Randomized elements for replayability and varied layouts. Special node types such as double-value placements or center-anchored tokens add new layers of strategy. Dynamic hints guide players through advanced balancing concepts and optimal placement methods. Key Features Clean, modern interface with a consistent visual identity. Smooth drag-based interaction optimized for touch screens. Detailed history tracking for past attempts and rankings. Offline play for all modes and levels. Suitable for short sessions or extended problem-solving marathons. Limit Line transforms simple arithmetic into a thoughtful and rewarding logic challenge. Whether you enjoy optimization, puzzle balancing, or elegant minimal strategy games, this experience delivers depth through clarity.

Bonbon Lab is a beautifully designed puzzle game where you play the part of a pastry alchemist. Open the app and a polished marble workbench appears — at the centre, a glass beaker glows with violet elixir holding the next level. Behind it, a rack of five glowing beakers represents five pastry capitals of the world: Paris, Rome, Kyoto, New York, and Kyiv. Each chapter is a journey through that country's tradition of sweets. The puzzle is simple but deep. On every level the workbench shows a small grid with a handful of basic ingredients — milk, sugar, flour, butter, eggs, chocolate, strawberry, vanilla. Your task is to drag one ingredient onto another. If the combination follows a real recipe, the two ingredients merge into the next stage — milk and sugar become cream, flour and egg become dough, dough and butter become pastry crust. Keep combining and the workbench fills with intermediate components — buttercreams, ganaches, sponges, glazes. Finally those intermediates merge into finished desserts. Each level has a specific order ticket — for example "Make two strawberry creams and one sponge" — and a limited number of moves. Finish the order within the move limit to earn one star. Finish quickly to earn two. Discover a bonus recipe along the way to earn three. The level map for each chapter winds along a zigzag path through a beautifully illustrated country banner — a Parisian boulevard for Patisserie of Paris, a sunlit Roman piazza for Dolce of Roma, a Kyoto temple garden for Wagashi of Kyoto, a New York deli front for Bakery of New York, a wooden Ukrainian village porch for Medivnia of Kyiv. The Cookbook is the heart of progression. Every finished dessert you create gets a beautiful illustrated card in the cookbook — a playful gamified collection rather than a textbook recipe. Each card shows the dessert's name, country of origin, the lineage of ingredients that built it, and a single line of folklore. The cookbook fills up as you discover new combinations across the chapters. The Endless Pot is a free-play mode with no move limit. Ingredients appear continuously, the workbench grows wider as you go, and a counter tracks how many desserts you discover in a single session. Your personal best is saved. The Journal tracks your stars, your recipes, and your milestone badges — first cream, first pastry, all of Paris, all of Rome, full collection, and many more. Bonbon Lab is built to be the most beautifully made dessert puzzle game on the App Store. Cream marble surfaces, lavender-elixir beakers, pink-ribbon flourishes, baroque serif typography throughout. Open the lab and start mixing.
