Inlay is a calm, colorful block puzzle you can pick up anytime and set down whenever you like. No timers, no pressure, no ads: just you, a grid, and the quiet satisfaction of a piece clicking into place. Drag pieces onto the 8×8 board. Fill a row or a column to clear it. Keep clearing to build combos, and wipe the whole board for a big Full Clear bonus. Three moves to learn and then it's playtime. WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT • No ads. Ever. Not even "optional" ones. • Free forever: every feature included from the first launch. • Your game saves itself: leave anytime, pick up exactly where you were. • Combos and Full Clear bonuses reward bold play with satisfying pops, sounds, and haptics. • An interactive tutorial teaches you in under a minute. • Music, sound effects, and haptics each have their own toggle. • Beautiful on iPhone and iPad. • Plays completely offline: perfect for flights and commutes. • Private by design: no accounts, no analytics, no data collection. Nothing ever leaves your device. HOW IT PLAYS Three pieces at a time. Place them anywhere they fit: no rotating, no timer, no pressure. When nothing fits, the run ends and you get to try again. If you're enjoying Inlay and want to support development, there's an optional tip jar in the menu (where available). Tips change nothing in the game. The whole experience is already yours. Made with care by Zaika Games.
