About

Droplings!

Features
Read full description

Droplings! is a straightforward logic game where you organize cute animals into their matching slots. On each level, your screen features a grid filled with various creatures like pandas, ducks, capybaras, and penguins. Surrounding the board are sliding trays with capacity numbers and matching textures. Your task is to drag these trays across the grid, positioning them to drop and collect all matching animals. The challenge comes from managing tight spaces and navigation paths. You must plan the sequence of your tray movements carefully—if you place a tray in the wrong direction, it can block other routes and leave animals stranded on the board. As you advance, the layouts feature locked paths, mystery obstacles, and multi-layered grid spaces that require strategic thinking. It is a relaxing yet stimulating experience that sharpens your spatial logic at your own pace.

About

Scale Garden

Read full description

Scale Garden is Futoshiki, the classic Japanese logic puzzle, grown into a cozy garden. Place snails, turtles, walkers, bikes, cars and trains so every row and column holds each one exactly once. Arrows between the squares always open toward the faster one. That is the whole game. It starts gentle and gets wonderfully tricky. EASY TO LEARN A guided first puzzle teaches everything in about a minute. Boards start at a friendly 3x3 and grow to a satisfying 6x6, one step at a time. PURE LOGIC, NEVER A GUESS Every level is checked to be solvable by reasoning alone. The answer is always on the board, waiting to be found. THINK IN PENCIL Jot notes on any square to try ideas before you commit. When you want a nudge, a hint fills in one correct square and lets you carry on. CALM BY DESIGN No timers. No rush. Soft colors, gentle sounds and a garden of friendly animals. Play offline anywhere: a few quiet minutes with your coffee, or a whole afternoon. FEATURES • Levels that grow from easy 3x3 to expert 6x6 • Every puzzle solvable by pure logic • Pencil notes and helpful hints • A guided tutorial that teaches as you play • Works offline, no internet needed • No timers Pull up a chair in the garden. The snails are waiting.
