One rushed move can trap a color and force you to rethink the whole level. WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT • Easy to learn: tap to pick up and place the top block • Strategy-friendly: no timer, so you can think ahead • Plenty of puzzles: progress from gentle starters to tricky levels • Helpful tools: undo, restart, and optional extra stack when you’re stuck • Satisfying finishes: clean clears and smooth feedback HOW TO PLAY 1) Tap a stack to pick up the top block 2) Tap another stack to place it — only on the same color (and only if there’s space) 3) Win when each stack contains a single color Play to unwind, focus, and challenge your logic — one perfect sort at a time.

Classic Pong arcade action — no timers, no interruptions. Drag to slide your paddle, tap to serve, and outlast the AI in a first-to-7 rally. The ball picks up spin from where it strikes the paddle, and every rally escalates in speed until one side breaks. VERSUS THE AI Winner serves the next point — you tap to send; the AI serves itself after a short beat. Every match resets cleanly when the score reaches 7. THREE DIFFICULTIES • Easy — slower ball, generous AI margins • Medium — faster ball, tighter AI reactions • Hard — fastest ball, near-perfect AI accuracy Haptics and synthesised arcade sounds fire on every paddle hit, wall bounce, and score. No audio files ship with the app. The game is strictly black and white. No account required. No internet required.
