Description (4000 chars max) ProgBots is a puzzle game where you program robots to navigate challenges, outsmart obstacles, and conquer every level — no coding experience required. Think logically, plan your moves, and send your bots on the right path. Each level introduces new mechanics that test your problem-solving skills in fresh ways. Whether you're 8 or 80, ProgBots makes the core ideas of programming intuitive and fun. What makes ProgBots unique is the depth of its toolset. As you progress, you'll use virtually every concept a real programmer uses — conditionals (if/else), loops, functions, recursion, parameters, and variables. Not as theory, but as hands-on tools you need to actually solve the puzzle in front of you. It's the closest thing to real programming without writing a single line of code. Features: Dozens of hand-crafted puzzles across multiple difficulty tiers Full programming toolset: ifs, loops, functions, recursion, parameters, and variables Simple, visual command system — drag, drop, and run Clean, colorful design that works on all screen sizes No internet connection required to play Free to play Challenge your brain. Train your bots. Can you solve them all?

No ads · no tracking · one-time purchase, no subscription. Stopko is a logic puzzle you finish by reasoning. You get a short story, a grid and a list of clues, and from those you can work out who has what. Without guessing once. Every base puzzle has a single solution that can be reached by deduction. What is in Stopko: • 400 puzzles across five chapters, from three categories up to five • six themes with their own story: a café, allotments, a block of flats, a race, a library, a market • a hint that first names the clue which settles the next square, and only fills the square in if you press it again • automatic crosses, undo, and a higher contrast mode for reading the grid • English, Slovak and Czech The app contains no ads and needs no account. Gameplay works offline. Buying or restoring the expansion requires a store connection. The optional Night Observatory adds 60 new deduction puzzles with a one-time purchase. The original 400 puzzles and hints stay free.
