SNAP-BACK is a fast-paced arcade physics game about smart decisions under pressure. Launch yourself into the void, latch onto drifting space resources, and snap them back to your core. Every level has a materials goal to hit — but your storage is limited, and not everything floating out there is worth collecting. HOW IT WORKS Drag to aim, release to launch. Make contact with a resource and you automatically snap back to your core, dragging it with you. Time your launches, chain multi-captures for bonuses, and advance to the next level when you hit your materials goal. KNOW YOUR RESOURCES · Junk — worthless and a storage hog. Destroy it at speed or it'll fill you up fast. · Silver — steady value, manageable storage cost. · Gold — high yield, glowing, worth going out of your way for. · Platinum — rare, maximum payout, barely costs any storage. THE CATCH Fill your storage before reaching your materials goal and it's game over. On harder difficulties, resources that reach your core will destroy it outright. Knowing what to grab, what to smash, and what to dodge is the game. FEATURES · Physics-based grapple with real momentum · Multi-capture bonus for chaining resources in one run · Three difficulty modes: Easy, Medium, and Hard · Per-level star rating based on storage efficiency · Retro pixel art with a neon space aesthetic · Haptic feedback and original sound effects · High score tracking

Features
Read full description

Line Thread is a satisfying puzzle game built around direction, timing, and smart sequencing. Each level places colorful arrows on a grid, and every arrow can only slide out in the direction it points. Sounds simple, but blocked paths, limited chances, and tricky layouts turn every move into a strategy decision. Use Undo, Hint, and Remove wisely to escape difficult situations and keep your progress moving forward. With handcrafted stages, clean visuals, and easy-to-learn but challenging gameplay, Line Thread offers a polished brain-teasing experience that rewards observation, planning, and calm problem-solving.
