About

SquidRow

Read full description

Roll. Place. Outsmart. SquidRow is a quick underwater strategy game where every roll can change your plans. Roll the die and decide your next move. Place your squid on light or dark spaces, drop a wildcard, switch places with an opponent, or unleash a bomb that can transform the board in an instant. Your goal is simple: be the first to get four in a row. Getting there is another matter. Play against one, two, or three AI opponents and choose the difficulty that suits you. The rules are easy to pick up, but the changing board means no two games play quite the same way. Features • Play against 1–3 AI opponents • Three AI difficulty levels • Six different die outcomes • Wildcards, bombs and switch moves • Fast, tactical games • Animated underwater game board • Sound effects, music and haptic feedback • No account required Sometimes the perfect move is one roll away. Sometimes a bomb changes everything. Can you claim four in a row?

About

Erase Order

Features
Read full description

In Erase Order, you don't build—you refine. The board is cluttered with noise. Your job is to strip it away to reveal the hidden structure. But you can't just click anywhere. You can only erase cells that are exposed—either on the border of the grid or adjacent to a cell you've already erased. Think carefully about the Order of Erasure. If you erase the wrong path, you might lock yourself out of the noise. Challenge your spatial reasoning and logic in this minimalist, industrial-style puzzle game.
