About

OneWay

Read full description

OneWay is a clean, satisfying puzzle game where your goal is simple: connect the entrance to the exit using tile pieces. Place tiles on the grid to build a continuous path from IN to OUT. Every tile must be used โ€” no extras, no shortcuts. As you progress through 100 hand-crafted stages across 5 zones, new mechanics are introduced one by one: โ€ข CLASSIC โ€” Learn the basics. Place tiles to form a clean path. โ€ข FAKE โ€” Extra tiles are added to mislead you. Only the right ones form the path. โ€ข BRIDGE โ€” Paths can cross. Figure out which tile goes over which. โ€ข PORTAL โ€” Teleport between two points on the grid. The path continues on the other side. โ€ข MULTI-LINE โ€” Two separate paths. Both must be completed at the same time. After clearing all 100 stages, Infinite Mode unlocks โ€” endless puzzles with randomized zones and grid sizes. Simple rules. Deep thinking. OneWay.

About

Curio Shelf

Features
Read full description

Arrange each item. Read every clue. Bring the whole cabinet into harmony. Curio Shelf is a cozy spatial-logic puzzle set inside a quiet countryside garden shop. Place a collection of curious objects on a compact shelf, then rearrange them until every item's clue is satisfied. SOLVE 25 CAREFULLY CRAFTED CABINETS Each cabinet adds new items and new ways to think about space. Keep a seed jar beside the fern, separate things that should not touch, find the right row or corner, and work out which object belongs above, below, left, or right of another. EVERY MOVE IS AN EXPERIMENT Drag an item straight onto the shelf, or tap to select and place it. Invalid arrangements are allowed and clearly explained, so you can test an idea, move things around, undo for free, or restart whenever you like. There are no timers, lives, or penalties for taking your time. EARN THREE STAMPS Complete every cabinet, then refine your solution. Place each item efficiently to earn up to three stamps. If you want a nudge, an optional rewarded hint can reveal one correct item placement without finishing the whole puzzle for you. UNLOCK ENDLESS SHELF Finish all 25 cabinets to open an ever-changing mode filled with newly generated arrangements. Every Endless Shelf puzzle is checked for a valid solution before you play.
