About

Planned Run

Features
Read full description

Planned Run is a side-view puzzle game where success depends on planning, not reflexes. Instead of controlling a character in real time, you record short action plans and watch them play out automatically. Each run lasts only a few seconds โ€” but solving a level often takes multiple runs, careful timing, and smart positioning. Plan your movement. Replay your actions. Adjust your strategy and try again. Key Features - Plan-first gameplay: Record your actions, then let the game execute them. - Multi-step puzzle levels: Most challenges require several planned runs to complete. - Single-screen platform puzzles: Vertical movement, platforms, and timing matter. - Undo and retry freely: Refine your plan without pressure. - Clean, focused design: No distractions โ€” just puzzles built around time and space. Planned Run is not about fast reactions. Itโ€™s about thinking ahead, learning from each replay, and finding the right sequence.

About

Chimera Chess

Read full description

Command your colony in Chimera Clash: Mutation โ€” a tactical board game where every capture transforms your units. EVOLVE THROUGH COMBAT Capture enemy pieces to absorb their movement abilities. A humble Drone that takes a Hopper gains L-shaped jumps. A Tank that absorbs a Spotter can now slide diagonally. Combine 5 unit types to create powerful hybrid creatures. WATCH OUT FOR OVERLOAD Push evolution too far and your piece becomes unstable. Max-level units that capture again trigger a chain reaction โ€” clearing a 3x3 area around the target, including the attacker. NAVIGATE THE RADIATION ZONES Radiation zones appear on the board every few rounds. Land on one to gain a protective Shield, but at a cost โ€” evolved pieces lose an ability, and base units get temporarily stunned. 5 UNIQUE UNITS - Drone โ€” Advances forward, captures diagonally - Hopper โ€” Leaps in L-shapes over any obstacle - Spotter โ€” Glides along diagonals - Tank โ€” Charges in straight lines - Alpha โ€” Your leader. Lose it and the game is over FEATURES - Challenge the AI across 3 difficulty levels - Local 2-player mode โ€” share one device with a friend - Compendium โ€” discover and catalog all evolved forms - Achievements to unlock as you master the game - Play anytime โ€” core gameplay works offline Simple rules. Deep strategy. Every match plays out differently.
