One tap reverses gravity. Every few seconds the tunnel throws a new twist at you. How deep can you go? Fluxo is a fast, fair, one-touch arcade runner. Ride the floor or the ceiling of a neon tunnel and flip between them to slip past spikes, barrier walls, center blocks, crushing pistons and timed laser gates. INSTANT GAMEPLAY Learn the controls in seconds. Your first run coaches you with a TAP TO FLIP prompt, and PLAY AGAIN restarts instantly — no trip back to the menu. MASTER GRAVITY Re-flip mid-air to thread tight gaps. A ring shows when you're airborne, and near-miss dodges build a CLOSE streak with a rising combo chime. A NEW TWIST EVERY SECTOR Every 8 points you enter a new sector with its own rule: reward sectors like ORB RUSH, GOLD RUSH and POWER DROP alternate with challenge sectors like SPEED SURGE, SPIKE STORM and TECH GAUNTLET. A bar under your score shows what's coming next. CATCH FEVER Chain three near-miss dodges to ignite FEVER: 6 seconds of double gold, an automatic orb magnet and a rainbow tunnel. A live countdown tells you exactly how many points you need to beat your best. CHARGE. DASH. SMASH. Collect orbs to fill your meter, then unleash FLUX DASH — a shockwave surge that smashes through everything in your path. DAILY CHALLENGE One fixed course per day, identical for every player on the same version, with its own daily best. Share your score and dare friends to beat it. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Classic for the core run, Hyper for faster speed and double gold, Zen for relaxed practice with no wipeouts. UNLOCK YOUR PILOTS 18 original pixel-art pilots, each paid pilot with a permanent perk. Five upgrade tracks, 24 lifetime trophies, daily missions, streak gifts and an endless Pilot Rank ladder. PLAY OFFLINE No account, no login, no internet required. COMFORT OPTIONS Toggle screen shake, reduced effects, music, sound and haptics. Honors iOS Reduce Motion. OPTIONAL PREMIUM One-time purchase, never a subscription: 2x gold, free revives, no house-ad breaks and the Golden Fluxo pilot. The full game is playable free.

Poodoku is a cozy logic-puzzle whodunit for the whole family. Someone pooped in the house. You have a small cast of suspects, a floor plan, and a handful of clues. Read each clue, place each suspect in the right room, and the last empty square is the poop — the room it's in reveals the culprit. Every day brings three fresh puzzles — Easy, Medium, and Hard — across a 365-day archive so you can catch up whenever life gets busy. When you're ready to level up, Hard+ teasers open the trickiest 5-room grids. WHAT MAKES IT TICK Poodoku borrows the "one per row, one per column" backbone from sudoku or queens and pairs it with logic clues from a whodunit — "I was on the sofa," "I was beside the plant," "I was in the same room as Milo." Every puzzle is uniquely solvable through pure deduction. No luck. No shortcuts to the answers. FEATURES • New puzzles every day + full archive • Three difficulties every day, plus Hard+ bonus grids • Interactive tutorial that teaches the whole clue vocabulary • Streak tracker with an optional 7pm reminder • Mark cells with an X while you think • Drag-and-drop, auto-mark, and candidate-location hints — pick the input style that fits you • Light + dark mode, storybook art, big-tap targets • Optional Cats Pack: swap the default cast for 20 hand-drawn cat suspects FAMILY FRIENDLY Poodoku's puzzles are kid-approachable without dumbing anything down. It's the kind of game a 7-year-old and a grown-up can solve together on the couch. Cute art, gentle stakes ("someone had an accident"), no violence, no ads. QUIET, RESPECTFUL DESIGN • No ads, ever • No account required, we respect your privacy and don't sell your information • No urgency timers, no lives to refill, no dark patterns • One-time purchases only — no subscriptions • Play offline; the archive ships in the app If you enjoy Sudoku, KenKen, Nurikabe, Picross, or a good whodunit, Poodoku will feel like home.
