Tap a tile. Watch the color ripple outward. Drain every tile on the board. ColorDrain is a minimalist puzzle game built around one simple idea: every tap sends a wave through the grid. Plan your taps, chain the reactions, and clear each board in as few moves as possible. HOW IT PLAYS You have a board of empty tiles. Each tap fills the tapped tile and ripples outward through its neighbors. Tiles, walls, mirrors, and other obstacles shape where the color can go. Your goal is to fill the entire board, and your score depends on how cleanly you do it. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most puzzle games ask you to match. ColorDrain asks you to plan. The same board can be solved in five taps or twenty, and finding the elegant solution feels like solving a tiny machine. FEATURES • 55 hand-crafted levels across 11 themed rows • A fresh daily puzzle, the same seed for every player worldwide • Endless mode with seeded levels you can replay • A built-in level editor for designing and saving your own puzzles • Three-star scoring rewards efficient solutions • Built one-handed for iPhone, fully portrait, no ads, no IAP A GROWING TOOLBOX Each row of levels introduces a new tile that changes how the ripple flows: • Amplifiers boost a tap into a long beam • Mirrors bend rays around corners • Bombs detonate when filled, taking neighbors with them • Teleporters warp the ripple to their partners on the same heading • Frozen barriers thaw under bomb blasts • Canals carry rays across long distances • Prisms burst light in all four directions • Locked tiles open only when surrounded • Infection tiles spread on their own once seeded • Heart tiles are the final puzzle: protect them, route around them, or finish them last BUILT FOR THE DEVICE Every action has a haptic. Every fill has a sound. Tap placement is precise enough to play with one thumb on the bus, and slow enough to think through on the couch. No accounts. No tracking. No internet required.

About

Seat Yourself!

Features
Read full description

Everyone wants a seat. Nobody wants THAT seat. Seat Yourself! is a cosy logic puzzler about the small daily diplomacy of public transport. Pip needs a window. Gus needs an empty seat beside him. Baz brought an egg-and-onion sandwich, and Cleo can smell it from two benches away. Your job is simple: sit everyone down so nobody grumbles. • 60 hand-designed levels across six places — the 41 Bus, the Corner Café, the Roxy Cinema, Pocket Park, the Night Train and the Bay Ferry • A brand-new puzzle every day, the same one for everyone, with streaks • Twelve riders with their own quirks, preferences and small histories • Twelve constraint types that layer up: window and aisle seats, front and back rows, best friends, personal space, sun and shade, noisy neighbours, and a rider who wants a whole row to themselves • Unlock hats. Put a paper crown on a seagull-watcher. It's important. • Twelve trophies, a cast album, and a soundtrack composed on the fly • Play in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian or Japanese No timers. No ads. No accounts. No score-chasing unless you want it. Just a quiet puzzle about being considerate, one seat at a time.
