About

Stack Weld

Read full description

Stack Weld is a fast-paced block-stacking arcade game built for players who want classic puzzle fundamentals with extra pressure, variety, and momentum. Drop pieces with precision, manage your hold, build combos, extend back-to-back streaks, and push for bigger clears as the pace rises. The core gameplay is tight and responsive, with modern movement and rotation behavior designed for satisfying high-speed play. Stack Weld also adds its own twist through dynamic runs and disruptive special events. Sudden hazards and shifting conditions can break your rhythm, forcing you to adapt on the fly and rethink every move. Features: • Arcade runs focused on score, speed, and survival • Mission progression with evolving goals and increasing challenge • Daily runs with deterministic setups for repeatable competition • Hold system, combo chains, back-to-back streaks, and level scaling • Energy-based skills that create clutch recovery opportunities • Special events that disrupt the board and change run tempo • Clean portrait play on iPhone with a focused one-handed-friendly layout Whether you want a quick high-score chase or a longer progression session, Stack Weld gives you multiple ways to play while keeping every run tense and reactive. Sharpen your timing, stabilize the stack, and see how long you can hold the board together when the run starts fighting back.

About

Harbor Shift

Features
Read full description

Run a complete vessel-control shift where every arrival needs a pilot, tug approach, inspection, cargo authorization, and departure clearance. The Harbor Control Desk tracks three live vessel cases at once. Watch individual deadlines, spend tug fuel on approaches, inspect manifests and storm lashings, authorize cargo work, and clear each departure in the correct order. Fog and storms alter findings. Late work accumulates delay, while every decision changes the shift's safety and throughput scores. Close a shift to receive a persistent graded report, then compare past performance in the Reports tab. The separate Operations tab adds cargo contracts, twelve ship routes, weather payouts, specialist hiring, facilities, and multi-shift progression. Features: - Five-stage vessel-control workflow - Concurrent deadlines and resource pressure - Weather-dependent inspection findings - Tug fuel, safety, delay, and throughput metrics - Persistent graded shift reports - Contracts, crew, and facility progression - Offline local save Harbor Shift is an offline single-player management game. There are no accounts, purchases, chat, user-generated content, or cloud saves.
