About

Substrate Entity

Features
Read full description

You are a charge running an etched plate. The trace splits under you, and some of the branches it offers are already finished. Nothing marks them. You read ahead, you pick a side, you keep moving. Press the left or the right of the glass. That is the whole game. SEVEN STRATA Each one runs faster and darker than the one above it. When the colour turns, the tempo turns with it. CHARGE Every row costs you. The bright pads pay it back and stack your multiplier. The branch that keeps you alive and the branch that keeps you fed are rarely the same branch. NO ADS No timers, no energy, no currency, no in-app purchases, no account. It runs entirely on your phone. Portrait, one thumb. Sound, haptics and motion each turn off. More from Dro1d Labs: Pixel Pigeon for the stubborn life of a city bird, and War Pigeon for tactical stealth after dark.

About

Gravitile

Features
Read full description

The blocks fall on their own. You control the world they fall into. Gravitile is a block puzzle turned on its head: you never place a piece. Instead, you tilt the entire board - left, right, or a full flip - and everything tumbles under gravity. Clear full rows and columns, trigger chain avalanches, and watch one small swipe pay off across the whole grid. Every tilt moves everything, so every move matters. A drop charge lets you take a piece straight down - but it's precious, and only tilting earns it back. Spend it at the perfect moment or hold it for the emergency; that choice is the game. - One thumb, portrait, sessions as short as you like - No timers, no lives, no waiting: play at your own pace - Chain reactions: clears cascade into clears - A revive when the board finally beats you - Your best scores follow you across your devices via iCloud - Plays offline - One small purchase removes all ads, forever - and keeps your revive, instantly, no videos Easy to learn in one swipe. Genuinely hard to master. Made by one person who is still chasing his own high score.
