SudoEarth

Read full description

SudoEarth is a calm, zen-aesthetic sudoku game. No ads. No trackers. No notifications. Just sudoku, painted in watercolor across five real geographies — Iceland, Kyoto, Tuscany, Norway, and Scotland. A SUDOKU WORLD TOUR Each chapter is a place. Iceland's aurora-lit fjords. Kyoto's bamboo grove. Tuscany's honey hills. Norway's cold-blue waterfalls. Scotland's misty highlands. Solve 30 puzzles in each chapter to complete the journey. 150 hand-tuned puzzles in version 1.0, every one verified to have a unique solution. MIRA — A GENTLE COACH Stuck on a puzzle? Mira, your in-game guide, offers three-tier progressive hints — direction first, then technique, only the answer if you ask twice more. The hint flow respects your pace: nothing is given before you've asked. Mira's tier-3 ground-truth gate means the answer is always correct, never an AI guess. WILDLIFE COLLECTION Each chapter has a hand-painted anchor wildlife — Arctic fox, Japanese macaque, Tuscan owl, Norwegian reindeer, Scottish wildcat. Complete a level to unlock the painting. Walk into the Wildlife tab anytime to see your collection. DESIGNED FOR CALM SudoEarth's design language is rice-white paper, soft watercolor washes, italic serif chapter titles, hand-drawn ink icons. No saturated alarming red anywhere — even the "out of hints" state lands on warm gold, not shouty red. The whole app is locked to light mode for now, deliberately, to match the airy notebook feel. OFFLINE-FIRST Every puzzle works offline. The rule-engine fallback means even Mira's hints work without a network — your hints just route locally instead of through our server. Your puzzle progress is saved locally first, then optionally synced to your other devices via Apple Sign-in. PRIVACY-FIRST We do not track you. We do not sell your data. We do not show ads. SudoEarth uses Apple Sign-in's anonymous identifier — we never see your name or email. Crash diagnostics use Firebase Crashlytics with no personal information attached. Full details at sudoearth.app/privacy. PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION Free play comes with 3 Mira hints per day. SudoEarth Premium unlocks unlimited Mira hints. Two plans — Monthly and Yearly.

Place blocks. Clear lines. Beat your best. Linea Match is a calm, endless block puzzle on an 8×8 grid. Drag three pieces at a time onto the board, complete rows or columns to clear them, and keep going for as long as the pieces fit. No timers, no lives, no pressure: just that satisfying “one more run” flow. HOW IT WORKS • Drag pieces from the three-piece tray onto the grid • Tap Rotate to turn all three pieces and find the perfect fit • Fill a full row or column to clear it • Clear lines on back-to-back moves to build a combo. One move without a clear won't break it • The run ends when no piece fits. Tap Try Again and beat your best POWER-UPS THAT CHAIN • Gems give you bonus points • Bombs blast the blocks around them • Lightning wipes a whole row and column Clear a line through a power-up block to set it off. Blasts can trigger other power-ups for big chain reactions, and emptying the whole board earns a perfect-clear bonus. 36 BOARD THEMES Spot a theme key on one of your pieces and clear it to unlock the next look, with new colors, block finishes and animated backdrops. Volcano Ember, Enchanted Forest, Bioluminescent Bay and many more. Seven of the 36 are exclusive to Premium. MADE FOR CALM • No timers: play at your own pace • Works offline • Haptics, plus clear sounds that rise with every combo • iPhone and iPad, light and dark mode • English, Spanish, French, Italian, Romanian, Portuguese and Turkish FREE TO PLAY Linea Match is free. Free players may see short video ads when starting a new game and sometimes after a theme change (your first 24 hours are ad-free). Some ads promote other Inoveb games. A one-time Premium purchase, with no subscription, removes the ads and adds the seven exclusive themes. You can restore purchases at any time. After your first day you'll also be offered a free 7-day Premium gift. No account needed. Download Linea Match and start clearing lines!
