Daxtle
Read full descriptionHide full description
Simple to learn. Surprisingly deep to master. Daxtle is a beautifully minimalist puzzle game that will twist your brain in the best way. Slide colored blocks across clever, irregular grids to land each one on its matching target — sounds easy, right? Think again. Here's the twist: every block has a fixed direction — it can only ever move one way. A single swipe moves all blocks sharing that direction at once, and a moving block will push anything in its path. One wrong swipe can ruin it all. Think ahead and plan your chain reactions. Made a mistake? Double-tap to undo — anytime, as many times as you need. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT - 85+ hand-crafted levels across 6 chapters — each one a unique, satisfying puzzle to solve - Challenge mode: race against a 90-second master timer — each solve adds bonus time. How far can you streak? Compete on the Game Center leaderboard! - Surprising mechanics introduced chapter by chapter: multi-color blocks, destroy blocks, and teleport portals keep things fresh - Gorgeous, calm design — no ads, no timers, no distractions - Every single level is free from the start — nothing locked behind a paywall - Undo anytime with a double-tap — experiment freely - Hints when you need a nudge - Light, Dark, and Auto theme — plays beautifully day or night - Satisfying haptic feedback and an original soundtrack that makes every solve feel great - Works offline — no internet required SUPPORT INDIE GAMES Every level, every mode — totally free. If you enjoy it, a one-time $1.99 supporter upgrade unlocks 5 hints every 8h and helps keep the game alive. No subscriptions, no ads — just an indie dev building puzzles with love.

Easy? That’s what BOOX thought too. Until Level 3. Move across a page of letters. Clear them all. Return to your starting square. Except. Step on an empty square again… and a letter comes back. That’s all it takes to ruin a perfect run. THE GAME Quotes turned into paths. 28 squares. One simple rule: collect every letter and return to where you started. Simple on the surface. Brutal in practice. Every move matters. One wrong turn, and a letter comes back. Your perfect path turns against you. Nothing is random. OBSTACLES You won’t stay alone for long. ▸ Spiders block your path ▸ Bookmarks move while you think ▸ Clovers activate multiple tiles at once One move can change everything. A LITERARY TWIST Each level is inspired by a classic work of world literature. The book shapes the level, its atmosphere, its music, and the hidden quote. Doyle, Maupassant, Kafka, Stoker, Cervantes, Zweig… Nothing forced. Just there if you want it. 30 levels. 30 ways to rediscover great books. ATMOSPHERE Each level features an original soundtrack. No filler — each track reflects the world of the book. FEATURES ▸ English, French, and German ▸ Play offline ▸ No account, no sign-up ▸ No forced ads So… Easy?
