Line Thread
Read full descriptionHide full description
Line Thread is a satisfying puzzle game built around direction, timing, and smart sequencing. Each level places colorful arrows on a grid, and every arrow can only slide out in the direction it points. Sounds simple, but blocked paths, limited chances, and tricky layouts turn every move into a strategy decision. Use Undo, Hint, and Remove wisely to escape difficult situations and keep your progress moving forward. With handcrafted stages, clean visuals, and easy-to-learn but challenging gameplay, Line Thread offers a polished brain-teasing experience that rewards observation, planning, and calm problem-solving.
Ironvale
Read full descriptionHide full description
Ironvale: Wall Defense is a fantasy siege survival game about defending the last walls of a kingdom under attack. Command soldiers, archers, cavalry, mages, siege weapons, and royal guard reinforcements as waves of orcs push toward your gates. Each battle asks you to hold the line long enough for civilians and allied forces to escape. Between battles, use Hero Training to strengthen your army, improve your defenses, and prepare for the next assault. Training gains persist, so you may not clear every stage on the first try, but each attempt helps the defense of Ironvale grow stronger. Optional rewarded video ads can be used for small Hero Training rewards or to call Border Ranger aid during a crisis. Ads are player-initiated and not required to play. Features: - Defend castle gates against escalating orc attacks - Command different defender types across multiple stages - Survive bombers, pressure waves, and special battlefield events - Build lasting strength through Hero Training after battles - Call crisis aid such as Border Rangers when the line is about to break - Progress through a hand-painted campaign map - Play in short portrait-mode sessions built for iPhone Ironvale is currently in active testing. Your feedback helps improve balance, combat flow, visual clarity, and stage progression.
