Games Fair is a free, open-source collection of classic puzzle and arcade games, in one app that never asks you for anything. SOLITAIRE Klondike, turning one card at a time or three. With Winnable Deals Only on, a solver plays every deal through to a win before it reaches the table, and Hint shows a move on the way. Once every card is face up, the rest fly home by themselves. BLOCK BLAST Drag pieces onto the board and fill rows and columns to clear them. Clear on back-to-back moves for a combo, or empty the whole board for a 5,000-point bonus. BREAKOUT Clear the bricks. Power-ups widen the paddle, slow the ball, or let it smash straight through. Levels get faster. FALLING BLOCKS The one you already know how to play. Lines clear, the level climbs, the pieces come quicker. SUDOKU Puzzles at several difficulties, with the number pad where your thumb already is. 2048 Slide the tiles, watch them merge, chase your best score. Reaching 2048 is not the end if you do not want it to be. CHARADES Hold the phone to your forehead while your friends give clues, nod when you guess right, and tip your head back to pass. Decks run from animals and movies to sayings and things to act out, and the screen stays on for the whole round. MINES The classic sweeper. Your first tap is always safe, holding a square plants a flag, and a number with all its flags opens the rest around it. Three board sizes, each shaped to fit your screen. LANGUAGES Menus, instructions and accessibility labels are in 13 languages. Charades has localized animal and food decks in each of them, and twenty-one themed decks in English. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No advertising. No purchases. No account. No network access at all — every game runs entirely on your device. Your progress is saved when you leave a game and restored when you come back, including if the phone puts the app to sleep mid-round. Games Fair is published by the App Fair Project and is free software under the GNU Affero General Public License, with an exception for distribution through the app stores. It is built with the Day framework: one Rust codebase drawing itself with each platform's real native widgets. github.com/Games-Fair/Games-Fair

Your little monster lives between your fingers: stretch it wide to catch more candy, squeeze it thin to slip between the walls. Wide = greedy but exposed, thin = safe but hungry. The whole game lives inside that choice, a hundred times a minute. THE MOON ROAD 60 tracks across 6 worlds painted by shaders: the Sugar Hills, the Mirror Woods, the Midnight Sky, the Messy Marsh, the Heart of the Moon and the Sugar Cages. Real branching paths, a different goal on every track (precision, candy runs, golden gates, "no stopping", a little Crumb to escort...) and 3 stars to earn: finish it, nail the goal, do it with style. And it keeps growing: more worlds arrive regularly, already inside the app, opening up on their own with no update to install. That makes 105 tracks across 11 worlds in all. 14 MISCHIEVOUS BOSSES King Gloop spits sticky goo, the Mad Mirror flips your controls, the Lighteater turns off the light, the Glutton swallows your candy before it reaches you... Each with its own rules, all the way to the Great Hunger: a three-phase final boss. Nine of them are waiting right away, the other five arrive with the new worlds. THE MOON RUN Endless mode: no finish line, difficulty that climbs forever, one record to beat (and Moonbits earned on every run). SOMETHING EVERY DAY The Daily Challenge is the same track for the whole world, with win streaks, a recovery token and a 30-day calendar. Plus 3 fresh missions every day that make you replay the game in new ways. CHALLENGE A FRIEND A fresh track, one single code: send it to whoever you like, they run the very same track, and the higher score wins. In a Challenge the powers stay home: only your fingers count. LEADERBOARDS Who scores highest on the Daily Challenge, who lasts longest in the Moon Run, who has collected the most stars. Your phone keeps them, through Game Center, and they open only if you want them to: there is no account of ours anywhere. DRESS YOUR MONSTER 8 monsters (some unlock ONLY with stars, money can't buy them) and 16 accessories: bouncing crowns, fluttering scarves, one loyal firefly. The Monster Album is the diorama of your collection. MADE WITH CARE • 6 languages: English, Italian, French, German, Spanish, Japanese • Accessibility: reduce motion, and color assist for players who can't tell red from green • Two control modes: two fingers (pinch) or one finger • A Detail setting for older phones • Plays entirely OFFLINE: no account of ours, no ads, no data collected by us. Ever. The leaderboards, if you use them, go through Game Center, which belongs to your phone.
