LineaLogic
Read full descriptionHide full description
A real logic game. Not another app stuffed with ads. Not a subscription that costs you more every month. Just an elegant puzzle where every challenge is solved by reasoning. That's LineaLogic. ■ THE CONCEPT Every puzzle gives you a clue. Your job: pick the right sticks — each one has a color and a size — to satisfy every constraint at the same time. The twist? Constraints overlap. A large red stick counts as both "1 large" AND "1 red". Read carefully, reason it out, choose right. Easy to learn. Demanding to master. ■ WHAT YOU GET → 7 progressive difficulty levels, 70+ deduction puzzles. → Level 1 is completely free — try before you buy. → Zero ads. Ever. Anywhere. → Zero subscriptions. One single lifetime purchase unlocks everything. → No timer, no lives, no game over. Take your time to think. ■ WHY LINEALOGIC IS DIFFERENT Most logic games drown you in ads or charge you every month. LineaLogic respects your time and your money: • Clean, premium design — crisp typography, bold colors, zero distractions. Pure thinking. • A unique mechanic — reading clues and overlapping constraints, not a simple "count the objects". • Clear feedback — a wrong answer tells you why, and you fix it. You learn as you play. • Works offline — on the subway, on a plane, anywhere. • No account required — play immediately. ■ WHO IS THIS FOR? • You love Sudoku and deduction riddles • You want a calm game to give your brain a workout • You want a smart puzzle to share with the family (ages 6+) • You appreciate premium apps with no ads and no subscriptions ■ THE LINEALOGIC FAMILY LineaLogic is the sister app of KubiLogic: same standards, same polished design, same promise — no ads, no subscriptions, one lifetime purchase. If you loved one, you'll love the other. ■ THE MATH IS SIMPLE Dozens of puzzles, hours of thinking, a single payment. Compare that to any $9.99/month subscription. Download LineaLogic. Start with the free level. And when you're hooked, unlock everything. Your brain deserves better than an ad every 30 seconds.

Pocket Detective is a single-player logic game about catching liars. Study the case file, interrogate suspects, test their statements against the rules of their claimed roles, and arrest every criminal. Witnesses tell the truth. Criminals lie while posing as witnesses. Bystanders are not criminals, but they can still disrupt the investigation. Each of 40 roles brings its own information, passive effect, or ability. The answer is on the board. You just have to prove it. • Academy: Learn the rules step by step across more than 30 handcrafted cases. New roles and mechanics are introduced as you progress. • Career: Solve as many cases as possible before your three lives run out. Build your score and compete on the Game Center leaderboard. • Daily Case: Everyone receives the same new investigation each day. • Custom Case: Choose the suspects, criminals, and role sets yourself, or enter a Case Number to replay a known investigation. • Track your record: Review detailed statistics, compare your performance across roles and modes, and earn Game Center achievements. • Play offline: Case generation and gameplay work without an internet connection. Pocket Detective is designed exclusively for iPhone and iPad. Download free and play Academy Tier 1. Complete it to unlock Career, Daily Case, and Custom Case with a starter set of roles. A small one-time Full Game purchase unlocks Academy Tiers 2 through 5, and all 40 roles. There are no subscriptions or consumable purchases.
