Two legendary puzzle games. One brilliant challenge. Tilux combines the tile-matching of Mahjong with the logic of Sudoku into a completely original puzzle experience. Drag tiles from the board onto the Sudoku grid — every tile must fit the rules. Simple to learn, impossible to put down. HOW IT WORKS A Mahjong-style board fills with numbered and symbol tiles. Your goal: place each tile into the correct cell of the Sudoku grid — no number may appear twice in any row, column, or box. Clear the board, complete the grid, beat the level. Pure logic puzzle satisfaction. FEATURES • Unique hybrid of Mahjong and Sudoku — unlike any puzzle game you have played • Hundreds of handcrafted levels with increasing difficulty • Power-up items: Undo, Recycle and Reshuffle to escape tricky situations • Daily streak system — return every day and earn bonus rewards • Milestone ranks — track your progress as you level up • Relaxing background music and satisfying sound effects • Beautiful dark theme, easy on the eyes • Fully playable offline — no internet required WHO IS TILUX FOR? Whether you love Mahjong, Sudoku, or just a great brain teaser — Tilux is the perfect puzzle game for anyone who enjoys logic puzzles, number games, and tile-matching challenges. Great for a quick 5-minute session or a deep problem-solving flow. BRAIN TRAINING MEETS CASUAL FUN Tilux is more than a game — it is a daily mental workout. Each level trains your pattern recognition, logical thinking, and spatial awareness. Stay sharp, keep your streak alive, and climb the ranks. If you enjoy Mahjong Solitaire, Sudoku puzzles, or number games, Tilux offers a fresh challenge that combines the best of both worlds.

Start small. Think big. Build a city that feels like yours. Digicity is an isometric city builder for iPhone, iPad and Mac with Apple silicon. Turn a randomly generated 128x128 landscape into connected neighbourhoods, busy industry and a city shaped by your decisions. CHOOSE HOW YOU PLAY Open Build is a free sandbox with every building tool and the whole map. No ads, energy meters or play timers. Saving requires a purchase. Scenario guides a new city through four historical eras, with goals and report cards as it develops. Era purchases unlock Scenario one era at a time; Ultimate includes them all. Everyone can preview 11 established challenge cities. Ultimate is required to start them, including the new recovery challenges The River That Burned and Aftershock. Take over a working city, tackle its problems and follow suggested approaches and live goals. BUILD A CONNECTED CITY Zone homes, shops and industry. Lay roads, tram lines, freight rail, power lines and water pipes. Connect residents to jobs, provide essential services and balance tax income against upkeep. Traffic, pollution, land value and demand shape what grows. BUILD ACROSS THE WATER Add rivers when founding a city. Connect the banks with low or high road bridges, extend local routes with secondary terminals and watch boats travel usable waterways. High bridges leave room for shipping; low bridges can block it. Inspect access and locate known blockages before planning your next crossing. CHOOSE YOUR CITY RULES With Ultimate, choose Standard, Relaxed or Custom rules before founding a Scenario city. Everyone can inspect the conditions. Decide which pressures apply, including pollution, fires and earthquakes. Rules stay fixed for that city. When enabled, river fires, earthquakes and aftershocks create new recovery problems. Review debris clearance costs before rebuilding. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CITY NEEDS Use data overlays, tile details and the city overview to explore population, finances, utilities and transport. In Scenario, choose transport priorities and emergency-service funding, compare city figures after policies take effect and pursue optional ambitions. Pause to plan or choose Normal, Fast or Fastest. SAVE AND RECOVER Saving and Ultimate are one-time purchases that include named saves and device-local autosaves. Without saving access, your city is lost if the app closes or the system terminates it. Autosave is on by default and keeps up to three recent recovery versions per city history. Force quitting can lose changes made after the last successful autosave. Ultimate includes saving, all Scenario eras, city rules and all 11 challenge cities. Purchases are not subscriptions and do not expire. Purchasing Saving or Ultimate supports future updates and continued development. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch are available. Digicity follows a supported device language or falls back to English; choose another supported app language in Settings. We use AI for translations from English. They may contain mistakes; share suggestions through Translation feedback in the city menu. Play in landscape on iPhone, build on iPad or use a Mac with Apple silicon. No account or sign-in is required. https://digicitybuilder.app/privacy
