Qwiggs is a memory puzzle set on a calm night-sea, beneath the moon and the stars. Here's the twist: every piece you're given always fits somewhere perfectly. No impossible blocks, no dead ends โ€” only the quiet challenge of remembering where it belongs. A shape flashes for a moment, then vanishes into a mystery bubble that slowly sinks from the sky. Swipe the sea left and right to line up your spot, and tap to pop the bubble before it reaches the horizon. Place it cleanly and watch full columns burst โ€” plop, gone! Clear the whole landscape to sail on to the next level. Gentle to look at, but sharp on your memory. One glimpse is all you get. FEATURES โ€“ A serene night-sea world with a glowing moon, drifting stars and soft soap-bubbles โ€“ A fresh take on block puzzles: memory matters, and every piece has a perfect home โ€“ Simple one-thumb controls โ€” swipe to aim, tap to pop โ€“ Clear whole columns for satisfying combo bonuses โ€“ Endless play that grows wider and trickier as you go โ€“ Game Center leaderboard โ€” chase your best score against the world โ€“ Free to play, with a single optional purchase to remove ads forever No timers in your face, no clutter โ€” just you, the sea, and the quiet thrill of remembering. Can you keep the night-sea clear?

About

Bird Chime

Features
Read full description

Bird Chime is a small, gentle puzzle you play by ear. Five birds sit on the perches of one tree. Tap a bird to hear its voice; drag it onto another to swap them. Press Chime to hear the song you're aiming for, then arrange the flock until the tree sings it back. Every level has a par โ€” beat it in exactly that many swaps and you earn extra worms. Worms feed the Nest. Hatch and raise five exotic birds โ€” a bee-eater, a hoopoe, a turaco, a kingfisher and a roller โ€” and they take their place in your tree, singing alongside the flock. โ€ข Play by ear: colour never tells you the note; your ears do โ€ข Levels come in five-level worlds โ€” meadow, jacaranda, autumn, savanna, blossom โ€” with morning, afternoon, dusk and night light โ€ข Every fifth level is a bonus level with an all-exotic flock and double worms โ€ข From level 16 a shy bird hides its voice: work it out from the others โ€ข Short levels, no timers, no lives, no ads, no account, no internet needed โ€ข Progress is saved on your device; the game collects no data at all Made by one person in South Africa. Bird Chime is best with the sound on โ€” it plays even when your phone's ring/silent switch is set to silent, and there's a Sound button whenever you need quiet.
