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.

Final Fortress is a match-3 puzzle. The whole game is the screen of an old terminal: green text, one cursor, and you, the commandant of the last fortress. It is a quiet game. A working console in the dark, the hum of the systems, static like rain. A watch takes fifteen or twenty minutes: do the day's tasks, read what came in, hand over. Nothing hurries you, and nothing happens while you are away. Come back after a week and the fortress is exactly as you left it. Match tiles to finish the day's tasks. Each task brings supplies. Spend them to repair the fortress: reactor, hydroponics, antenna, armory, infirmary. Every repaired system opens new missions. Match 4 or more to charge special tiles. They clear a line, a block, or every tile of one kind. Swap two charged tiles together and they fire as one bigger shape, up to the whole board. The board gets busier as you go: convoy crates that pay out at the bottom, sealed containers with a special tile inside, interference to clear layer by layer, burned sectors the tiles fall past. Some tasks ask for a pattern: decode a sequence in order, or fill a gauge in every column. AI Madness is a mode of its own, outside the fortress. Each shift bends the rules: boards up to 10 by 13, sometimes only three kinds of tile, cascades that barely stop, tasks that may be impossible. On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model (Foundation Models) picks the shift's character and writes its line in the log. Nothing leaves the phone. Otherwise the terminal does the same on its own. Nothing is at stake and nothing is banked. Every shift has a code. Send it to a friend and they get exactly the same board. There is a story in the log: three acts, four threads, and the notes of the commandants who held the fortress before you. It comes a few lines at a time. Read it or skip it. The game never nags about it. Repair the antenna and you will see a board with other players' stations. It is view-only, there is no chat, and it updates once a day. When the story is over, the log keeps going quietly on its own. The music belongs to your fortress alone. The sound is synthesized live and seeded from your fortress, so your station hums like no other and never loops. The hum changes with what is running, with the hour of the night and with the weather outside. Each kind of tile has its own note, and a cascade climbs the scale. One extra room, The Long Dark, carries a call of its own. Three more stations use the instruments in your phone: a weather post that reads the barometer, an acoustic modem and a direction finder. A home screen widget shows your fortress at a glance, in StandBy too. No ads. No lives, timers, energy or streaks. No pop-ups, no push notifications, no accounts, no daily rewards to come back for. Run out of moves and the terminal just says the packet was lost. Try again, nothing is taken away. You can drop a task at any time. Most purchases are cosmetic only: screen colors, ambience rooms, strike sounds, custom names. One purchase, Support the Watch, buys nothing at all: it is a thank-you and nothing more. Nothing you can buy helps you play, and no purchase moves you up the board. Works offline, on iPhone and iPad. Fully playable with VoiceOver, with a flicker-free stable phosphor mode and a calm mode that softens the board's flashes and haptics.
