Sky Lobby is a strategy puzzle game about elevators, timing, and crowd flow. Up. Down. Calm. Panic. Calm. Panic! Play the first three towers free, then unlock the full game with a single purchase. There are no ads, subscriptions, or other in-app purchases. Design elevator routes through a busy skyscraper. Place stops, build sky lobbies, and keep people moving as each tower becomes more crowded, more complex, and less forgiving. Every decision matters. A lift that works well in the morning rush may fail at lunchtime. A clever sky lobby can save an overloaded tower. A badly timed route can leave passengers waiting too long as midnight approaches. Sky Lobby mixes calm planning with quick reactions. It is part elevator simulator, part logic puzzle, part real-time strategy challenge. Features * Build elevator routes through compact skyscraper puzzles * Use sky lobbies to move passengers efficiently between floors * React to changing demand throughout the day * Balance strategy, timing, and fast decision-making * Solve increasingly complex tower layouts * Portrait mode gameplay * Zen mode for stress-free play * Dark mode supported Free to try, one in-app purchase to own * Play the first three towers free without time limit or catch * One purchase, "Unlock Full Game," opens every remaining tower * A complete game with no ads, subscriptions or other in-app purchases * Buy once, keep it forever Sky Lobby is designed for players who enjoy strategy games, simulation games, transport puzzles, management games, and smart minimalist challenges. Plan the route. Watch the crowd. Keep the tower moving. Mind the doors.

Drop off the boat with a speargun and a mesh bag. Somewhere along the reef below you there are lionfish — beautiful, venomous, and eating their way through a place they were never supposed to be. Your job is to take them out of it. Lionfish Hunter is a calm game about doing a real job well. Line up the shot, take it, bag the fish, move on. Got one. Got one. Got one. THE SHOT IS THE GAME Pull back on the right of the screen to load the speargun and let go to fire. The spear is on a tether and takes a moment to come back, so you cannot spray shots — every one is a decision. Where you hit matters as much as whether you hit: a clean kill through the body is worth restaurant money, a raking shot along the length tears the meat, and too much speargun on a small fish ruins it outright. SWIM THE REEF UNTIL YOUR AIR RUNS OUT One dive spans a whole site — work a patch of reef, swim on, work the next. Then surface wherever you happen to be and swim back along the top to your boat to unload. Run low on air and you simply go up. You can never drown, and you never lose a haul. MIND THE SPINES Those fins are venomous, they reach a long way past the body, and getting close is exactly what good shooting requires. A sting costs you air and a first-aid bill. SELL IT, THEN BUY BETTER The restaurant pays well and refuses anything small or mangled. The market takes most of it. The rendering company takes literally anything and pays accordingly. Which one you sell to is a decision you make holding the fish you actually shot. Cash buys bigger tanks, bigger bags, better spearguns and a better boat — longer dives, richer water, and reefs further out that nobody has cleared. THE REEF COMES BACK Clear the lionfish off a patch and the coral colours up and the fish return. That is the whole point of the job, and you can see it happen. WHY LIONFISH The invasion is real. Lionfish are native to the Indo-Pacific and have spread across the Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf, where they have no predators and eat almost anything that fits in their mouths. Divers culling them genuinely helps reefs recover. The game carries a short ecology sheet drawn from NOAA, including the part a game would normally leave out: culling holds a reef, and nobody clears the ocean. WHO IS ACTUALLY DOING THIS The game credits and links to the organisations doing the real work — REEF, Lionfish University, the CORE Foundation, ECOMAR and NOAA Fisheries. None of them are affiliated with us and none of them endorse this. No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts and no sign-in. The game reports crashes, and on iPhone and iPad it also records which screens you use, so that we can tell whether a change made it better. It never collects your name, your contacts, your precise location, or the advertising identifier, and there is nothing here to sign into.
