Slide, match, relax. Luup is the cozy color puzzle you can sink right into. Meet the marbles — a handful of glossy, smiling little characters that just want to find their way home. In Luup you slide each marble across the board until it rolls into the color gate that matches it. Easy to pick up, quietly clever to master, and calming from the very first move. Every level is hand-crafted — no timer, no lives, no pressure. Just you, a satisfying slide, and that little click of everything falling into place. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a marble and slide it — it glides until it meets a wall or another marble. • Guide every marble to its matching color gate. • Sort all the colors and clear the board to solve the level. • Think a move ahead, unblock the path, and plan your route.

Read full description

Crate Bloom is a minimalist puzzle game about movement, timing, and flowers. Choose a crate, send it sliding, and use the environment to stop it in exactly the right place. When a crate reaches its matching bloom spot, a flower opens. Every move matters. The early levels are easy to understand, then new mechanics gradually change how you plan: 1. Fixed stones that shape each route 2. Cracked stones that can be broken 3. Rotatable crates that change movement options 4. Bloom gates that open only when conditions are met 5. Compact handcrafted puzzles with satisfying animations There is no visible grid and no timer pressure. Just clear interactions, thoughtful puzzles, and a small garden that comes alive one bloom at a time. Play in short sessions or settle in to solve the full set of levels.
