TripFlip features: Triangle-based tile-flipping strategy gameplay Hexagon and triangle board layouts Small, medium, and large board sizes Local play or matches against the computer Easy, Medium, and Hard AI difficulty levels Smooth 3D board controls with rotation, pan, and zoom Quick-to-learn rules with deep tactical play The goal is simple: when no more moves remain, the player controlling the most tiles wins.
Assimilax
Read full descriptionHide full description
Assimilax is a game of quiet conquest: spread your colour across a hex board, one pastel orb at a time, until everything on it is yours. Each turn you do exactly one thing. Pick an orb and either CLONE it to a neighbouring hex (the original stays) or JUMP it two hexes across the board (it moves). Either way, every enemy orb touching where you land is ASSIMILATED โ quietly flipped to your colour. That's the whole game. No timers rushing you, no menus to wade through โ just you, a hex grid, and a slow, satisfying tide of colour spreading across it. Under the soft palette is a real strategy game: โข 40 hand-built levels and a gentle tutorial, laid out as concentric rings on a hex map. Start at the centre and climb outward. โข 3 boss battles gate the rings. โข 6 playable orbs, each with a special power that charges as you play: Coral's Embrace, Azure's Flow, Sage's Root, Honey's Glow, Lavender's Drift and Stone's Anchor. Time one right and the whole board tips your way. โข Three difficulties. Easy plays loose and forgiving; Normal keeps you honest; Hard thinks a move ahead and never blinks. Lives and continues soften the fall โ or don't, on Hard. โข A global leaderboard โ leave your three letters at the top. Everything is tuned for calm: soft pastels, a chill soundtrack, unhurried animations. Pick it up for one quick level, or lose an evening climbing the rings. No ads. No in-app purchases. No account. Works offline. Just a board to take, one orb at a time.
