Read full descriptionHide full description
Place hex tiles. Watch a tiny kingdom take shape. Hex & Hearth is a cozy puzzle where every tile you place fits ā or doesn't ā against the edges of its neighbors. Roads connect to roads. Rivers flow into rivers. Walls march along castle ridgelines. There's no timer breathing down your neck. No ads cutting your flow. Just you, the hex grid, and 50 hand-crafted little worlds. WHAT YOU'LL BUILD ⢠50 puzzle levels across 5 themed packs ā winding country roads, river deltas, coastal harbors, scattered island chains, and finally a full castle pack inspired by Carcassonne, Krak des Chevaliers, and Mont Saint-Michel. ⢠Bridges over rivers. Watchtowers on hills. Bailey walls around keeps. ⢠Villages with cottages, taverns, market squares, and the occasional cannon. HOW IT PLAYS ⢠Pick up the next tile in your queue, rotate it, and drop it where the edges match. ⢠Early levels teach the language; later puzzles open up into full sandboxes where you place tiles freely. ⢠Get stuck? Undo, restart, or step away ā your progress is saved. ⢠Times are tracked. Beat your best, climb the global ranking. WHAT MAKES IT QUIET ⢠No ads. ⢠No energy meters or "wait two hours for hearts." ⢠No microtransactions. ⢠Plays offline. ⢠Portrait. One thumb. Five minutes or an hour ā you set the pace. LOCALIZED ⢠English and Portuguese (pt-BR). Made by a small team who wanted to ship a puzzle game their grandmothers would actually finish. We hope you do too.
Harbor Shift
Read full descriptionHide full description
Run a complete vessel-control shift where every arrival needs a pilot, tug approach, inspection, cargo authorization, and departure clearance. The Harbor Control Desk tracks three live vessel cases at once. Watch individual deadlines, spend tug fuel on approaches, inspect manifests and storm lashings, authorize cargo work, and clear each departure in the correct order. Fog and storms alter findings. Late work accumulates delay, while every decision changes the shift's safety and throughput scores. Close a shift to receive a persistent graded report, then compare past performance in the Reports tab. The separate Operations tab adds cargo contracts, twelve ship routes, weather payouts, specialist hiring, facilities, and multi-shift progression. Features: - Five-stage vessel-control workflow - Concurrent deadlines and resource pressure - Weather-dependent inspection findings - Tug fuel, safety, delay, and throughput metrics - Persistent graded shift reports - Contracts, crew, and facility progression - Offline local save Harbor Shift is an offline single-player management game. There are no accounts, purchases, chat, user-generated content, or cloud saves.
