About

Starfall Bastion

Features
Read full description

Defend the sky road in Starfall Bastion, an offline single-player tower defense game set among floating crystal keeps and falling stars. Build towers, read the corners, spend shards carefully, and stop each wave before it reaches the gate. Every battle is designed for quick strategy sessions where one better tower placement, upgrade, or tactical tool can turn the fight around. Choose from five tower lines: - Crystal Lance for fast single-target beams - Ember Mortar for heavy splash damage - Storm Spire for long-range cleanup - Frost Obelisk for slowing dangerous waves - Nova Prism for dense corner bursts

About

Boltsmith

Features
Read full description

Boltsmith is a cozy, oddly satisfying bolt-unscrew puzzle. Tap an exposed bolt, watch it spin out of the plate, and sort it by color into the matching caddy. Fill a caddy with three of a color and it pops โ€” freeing the slot for the next color. Clear every bolt from the bench to solve the level. It sounds simple, and the first taps are pure ASMR. But as plates stack and colors multiply, every move becomes a small planning problem: which bolt do you pull first, and where will it go? Think one step ahead, keep your caddies open, and empty the workbench.
