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. NEIGHBOURHOODS WITH CHARACTER Zone homes, shops and industry, then watch 22 building types develop through three visible stages. Streets, services, land value and nearby development shape what grows. Larger buildings can bring four lots together into one site. MAKE EVERY CONNECTION COUNT Lay roads, tram lines, freight rail, power lines and water pipes. Connect homes to jobs, provide essential services, and balance tax income against upkeep. Your choices affect traffic, pollution and demand. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Use data overlays and tile inspection to understand what helps your city grow—or holds it back. The city overview brings population, finances, utilities and transport together, with shortcuts to relevant map layers and controls. TAKE ON A NEW CHALLENGE Optional Scenario mode follows four historical eras: Rail, Motor, Service and Logistics. Start fresh or take charge of nine established challenge cities: Industrial River Town, Aging Tram City, Utility Squeeze, Budget Rescue, Safe Streets, Quiet Neighborhoods, Transit Turnaround, Boomtown and The Compact City. Choose transport priorities and emergency-service funding, review their costs, and compare city figures after policies take effect. Pursue seven optional ambitions and pin a goal while you play. Scenario access depends on the eras you own. Everyone can preview all nine challenge cities; starting one requires Ultimate. BUILD AT YOUR OWN PACE Pause to plan or choose Normal, Fast or Fastest. Open Build is a complete, free sandbox with every building tool and the whole map. No ads, energy meters or play timers. SAVE AND RECOVER YOUR CITY Saving your cities requires a one-time purchase. Without it, your city is lost if the app closes or the system terminates it. Saving and Ultimate include autosaves on this device, enabled by default. Keep up to three recent recovery versions per city history and restore an earlier checkpoint from the city menu. Named saves remain available separately. Force quitting can lose changes made after the last successful autosave. Scenario eras are sold separately. Ultimate includes saving, all Scenario eras and all nine challenge cities. Purchases are not subscriptions and do not expire. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch. Digicity follows your supported device language, with English as the fallback. You can choose another supported app language in Settings. We use AI to translate from English into other languages. Translations may contain mistakes; English is the original source. Share suggested improvements 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
