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

ShadowGrid

Features
Read full description

Shadow Grid is a calm, satisfying 3D puzzle: stack and rotate simple blocks on a grid until the shadows they cast on two walls match the target silhouette exactly. - 200 handcrafted levels, from a gentle two-piece start to real spatial-reasoning challenges. - A separate 100-level Pro pack for players who want a tougher challenge - bigger grids, more pieces, and blocks that sit at different heights so the shadows overlap in ways you can't just read off the floor. - Drag pieces along the floor and tap to rotate - no timers, no penalties, just figure it out at your own pace. - Global leaderboard: pick a username and an avatar, and see how your progress compares to other players. - Five visual skins to re-color your blocks, from a classic monochrome look to warmer palettes. - Reset any level instantly and try again as many times as you like. No sign-up required - just open the app and start stacking. An optional one-time purchase removes ads entirely.
