Tintforge is a relaxing color puzzle where every stage begins with a target shade and a handful of pigments. Instead of matching tiles or clearing blocks, you create the answer yourself. Add pigment drops, watch them blend across the canvas, and adjust your mix until it matches the target. A little more blue, a softer touch of white, one cleaner ratio — small choices turn into satisfying color discoveries. Travel through themed worlds filled with crafted color challenges, from Studio Basics and Tone Lab to Garden Pigments, Night Palette, Digital Neon, Deep Ocean, and Master Gallery. Each world is divided into color chapters with new palettes, rules, and puzzle twists. Earn stars for accuracy, complete stage sets, restore chapters and worlds with color, and collect rewards that help when a shade is just out of reach. Helpful tools give you ways to compare colors, fix tricky mixes, and keep progressing. Features: - A relaxing color-mixing puzzle experience - Blend pigment drops to match target shades - Themed worlds and color chapters to unlock - Stages ranging from simple mixes to advanced color trials - Star ratings, perfect clears, set rewards, chapter rewards, and world rewards - Special puzzle twists including hidden targets, locked inks, and mystery palettes - Helpful tools for comparing colors, fixing mixes, and solving tricky shades Tintforge is made for players who enjoy calm puzzle games, color matching, creative problem solving, and satisfying progression.

Every country is a Minesweeper board. GeoSweeper puts classic Minesweeper on a map of the world. Pick a country and its board is cut to that country's real shape: Chile runs long and thin, Italy is a boot, Brazil sprawls. Clear it without hitting a mine and the country is yours, lit up on the map. Then pick the next one. There are 204. The bigger the country, the bigger the board. Play the map on Normal or Expert. On Normal, every country has the same light share of mines and every board can be cleared by logic alone, so you never have to guess. On Expert, the mines rise with the country: small nations are quick Beginner games, and the largest are Mega boards that take real nerve. Your first 10 countries are free, on either map; one purchase unlocks every country on both. • 204 countries, each with a board cut to its real outline • Two difficulties: Normal, where no board ever needs a guess, and Expert, four tiers by size from Beginner to Mega — first 10 countries free, one purchase unlocks both • Classic mode, another world: free-form Minesweeper on any board size and five difficulties, Easy to Insane — first 10 games free, a one-time unlock for the rest • Infinite Tower, another world: an endless climb, one row at a time — free to row 10, then a one-time purchase • Spin the globe or lay the map flat • Win a country to claim it, and watch the map fill with the ones you've swept • Nearly every country's board is checked by a solver to be clearable by logic alone • Your first tap always opens safe ground • Tap a number whose mines are all flagged to open everything around it • Your Record: wins, losses, win rate and best times, by level and by country • Browse and search every country, filtered by completed or remaining • Three board themes: a colorful board for each country, a plain gray grid, or Neon in five colors • Three explosion effects and eight blast sounds, from a padded thud to a long rumble • A short tutorial if you've never played, and a skip if you have • 32 languages, switched inside the app • iPhone and iPad, portrait and landscape A BOARD SHAPED LIKE THE PLACE Tiles only exist where the land does. Coastlines bend the board, the smallest islands come already open as scenery, and every country plays a little differently from the one next door. CLASSIC MODE Plain Minesweeper, played your way. Pick your own board size and one of five difficulties, Easy to Insane. Every board is built to be solvable by logic, so a careful player never has to guess, and History keeps a record of your past games. Your first 10 games are free; unlock Classic once for unlimited play. INFINITE TOWER When you want something that never ends. Open every safe tile in your row to unlock the row above. Hit a mine and the row starts over, and from row 100 up, a mine knocks you back down a few rows too. The first 10 rows are free. Past that, unlock it once for life and keep climbing forever. How high can you climb? NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET There is no sign-in and nothing to set up. GeoSweeper plays fully offline, on a plane or underground, and your progress stays on your device. No ads. Every country you've already played, and everything you've unlocked, stays playable with no connection at all. Sweep the world.
