About

Card Stack

Features
Read full description

Three empty columns. Three cards in hand. You set the direction. In Card Stack: Puzzle Sort, nothing is fixed from the start. Drop your first card into a column โ€” the second card locks in the direction: ascending or descending? Once set, only the right cards fit. Complete five cards and the column clears, your score climbs. But watch out โ€” the moment none of your cards fit anywhere, it's STUCK. And that's where your run ends.

About

Loop City

Features
Read full description

Loop City is a one-finger, line-drawing delivery arcade with stage-clear roguelite runs. Drag from one building to another to draw a delivery route. Trucks ride your lines, pick up packages, and drop them at matching-colour buildings. Keep deliveries flowing to build combos and a higher score multiplier โ€” but if a building overflows, it's game over. CLEAR STAGES, GO DEEPER - Each stage sets a delivery goal. Hit it to clear, draft a roguelite upgrade, and move on to a faster stage. - Special stages shake things up: Rush Hour (package surge, 2x score), Fog, Blackout, and Rain. - Every 5th stage is a BOSS โ€” a giant logistics center that surges in telegraphed waves. Beat it for bonus coins and an extra upgrade. POWER-UPS & UPGRADES - Grab field power-ups by driving a truck over them: Boost, Score Frenzy, Freeze, Clear, and Shield. - Draft roguelite upgrades every stage โ€” more lines, faster trucks, bigger cargo, combo boosts, and more. MORE TO PLAY - Daily Challenge: a fresh, date-seeded run every day with its own best score. - Achievements that reward coins to unlock new trucks and city themes. - Buildings are distinguished by colour AND shape (colour-blind friendly), with a reduce-motion option and English + Korean support. Simple to pick up, tricky to master. How far can your city go?
