FORGE COSMIC POWERS Match 4 gems to forge a comet that blasts a whole line. Corner a match to ignite a nova. Line up 5 and hold a SUPERNOVA — a star that erases every gem of a color, or wipes the entire board when two collide.

Guide the stag. Close the meadow. Take your time. Stagfold is a calm, cozy logic puzzle about building the best pasture. You have a small supply of wooden fences. Place them on the meadow to close a shape around your stag, and make that pasture as big as you can. It's easy to learn and hard to perfect. Every meadow has one best enclosure. Can you find it? FENCE THE MEADOW Tap to drop fences and seal off your stag's grazing land. Leave a single gap and the stag can wander off, so plan every post. FIND THE BEST SHAPE Use rocks, bushes and the edges of the map as natural walls. Fold your fences around them to claim the widest safe pasture your fence budget allows. MIND WHAT YOU FENCE IN • Apples sweeten your score • Mushrooms sour it • Portals link far corners of the meadow and change how you need to think about a closed shape A JOURNEY OF 100 MEADOWS Travel through 10 chapters, from First Pastures and Rock Gardens to Stone Archipelago, Wild Labyrinth and The Final Sanctuary. Each chapter brings bigger maps and new twists. MEET THE HERD Visit the Stag Farm to choose who roams your meadows. The russet stag is yours from the start. A spotted fawn, a frost stag with an ice crown, an ember stag with burning antlers and more can join the herd as optional one-time purchases. MADE FOR UNWINDING • No timers and no pressure • Undo any move, and ask for a hint when you're stuck • Six ambient soundscapes: Meadow, Brook, Forest, Rain, Snow and Dusk • Three meadow themes: Meadow, Blossom and Dusk • Soft haptic feedback • No ads, and it plays fully offline Stagfold is for anyone who loves logic puzzles, brain teasers and cozy games, or just a quiet moment of clever thinking.
