Stackbound
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stackbound is the block puzzle that finally gives you a reason to keep playing. Drop blocks on a 10x10 grid, clear rows and columns, and chain combos for huge scores - then turn every game into a roguelike run. Every few line clears you draft one of three relics: refill cleared columns, triple every fifth clear, bank gold, and dozens more that stack into wild combos. Survive deep enough and a boss floor appears, bending the rules with locked cells, shorter racks, or score taxes you have to play around. No two runs feel the same. A daily seeded run gives everyone the same board, so you can chase the top of your local leaderboard. Between runs, persistent meta progress unlocks new relics and grid skins that carry forward - the deck of possibilities grows the more you play. FEATURES - 10x10 block puzzle with satisfying row and column clears - Roguelike runs: draft relics, build synergies, push your score - Boss floors every ten floors that change how you play - Daily seeded challenge with a local leaderboard - Persistent meta unlocks: new relics and grid skins - Endless mode for a relaxed score chase - One-handed portrait play, dark mode, and Dynamic Type support - Play free, or unlock Premium once to remove ads forever and open every skin and bonus relic slot Free to play with optional ads. Go Premium with a single one-time purchase - no subscriptions.
Tidy Crate

Tidy Crate is a quiet 3D sorting puzzle. Tap a shelf to pick up the item on top, tap another to put it down. Get three of a kind together and the shelf tidies itself. That's the whole game. No timers. No lives. No way to lose. TAKE YOUR TIME Nothing is counting down. Put the phone away mid-level and the board will be exactly where you left it. NEVER STUCK If a board runs out of moves, a shuffle rearranges it โ same items, new order, nothing lost. Every level gives you one free shuffle, and undo is always free. Always. A PLACE, NOT A SCREEN Three rooms to tidy: the Pantry, the Sunroom and the Attic. The light shifts as you work through a chapter โ morning, evening, night โ and every level adds something new to your collection. WHAT'S INSIDE โข 36 hand-paced levels, then endless boards โข Every board is proven solvable before you see it โข 20 items to collect โข Free undo, one free shuffle each level, free daily hints โข Your progress is backed up to iCloud โข Cozy Pass removes ads for good, if you want it App language: English. No pressure. No punishment. Just a shelf that needed sorting.
