Read full description

Candy Cracker is a relaxing match-3 puzzle game for iPhone and iPad: swap neighboring candies to line up three of a kind, craft striped, wrapped and rainbow specials, and combine them into board-clearing chain reactions across 1000 levels. It is made for people who want a calm puzzle they can pick up anywhere. The whole game works offline — no internet connection, no account, no sign-up — and there are no forced ads: videos are always optional and always rewarded, never an interstitial, never a banner, never during a level. Every candy color also has its own shape, so the board stays readable if you are colorblind. FEATURES • 1000 levels across four goal types: score runs, jam clearing, cookie deliveries and candy orders — plus mixed levels that combine them • Special candies and combos: striped blasts, wrapped explosions and the board-clearing rainbow candy • Tricky blockers: ice, cages and sticky goo that spreads if you ignore it • Boosters when you need them: candy hammer, free switch and head starts • Daily bonuses and play streaks with growing rewards • 33 achievements and Game Center leaderboards for your best scores • Colorblind-friendly: every candy color has its own shape • No forced ads — videos are always optional and always rewarded • No account needed.

Guide the stag. Close the meadow. Take your time. Stagfold is a calm, tactile puzzle game about building the best pasture. You have a small supply of wooden fences. Place them on the meadow to close a shape around your stag, and make that pasture as big as you can. It's easy to learn and hard to perfect. Every meadow has one best enclosure. Can you find it? FENCE THE MEADOW Tap to drop fences and seal off your stag's grazing land. Leave a single gap and the stag can wander off, so plan every post. FIND THE BEST SHAPE Use rocks, bushes and the edges of the map as natural walls. Fold your fences around them to claim the widest safe pasture your fence budget allows. MIND WHAT YOU FENCE IN • Apples sweeten your score • Mushrooms sour it • Portals link far corners of the meadow and change how you need to think about a closed shape A JOURNEY OF 100 MEADOWS Travel through 10 chapters, from First Pastures and Rock Gardens to Stone Archipelago, Wild Labyrinth and The Final Sanctuary. Each chapter brings bigger maps and new twists. MADE FOR UNWINDING • No timers and no pressure • Undo any move, and ask for a hint when you're stuck • Six ambient soundscapes: Meadow, Brook, Forest, Rain, Snow and Dusk • Three meadow themes: Meadow, Blossom and Dusk • Soft haptic feedback • No ads, and it plays fully offline Stagfold is for anyone who loves logic puzzles, cozy games, or just a quiet moment of clever thinking.
