Stranger, not faster. Blocks fall. Lines clear. You already know this game - until the bag starts changing. Every cleared row earns credits, and credits buy cursed relic-cards that bend the rules of the game itself. Your hand of relics survives death; only the board resets. (That's the roguelite part.) Most block games get harder by speeding up. Ominomicon gets harder by changing what falls: every level introduces a stranger piece and quietly retires a familiar one. By the deep game you're stacking nothing but pentominoes - on a board that periodically flips upside down. FREE TO PLAY, PROPERLY The free version is a complete game: 12 of the 20 relic-cards, every mechanic, endless runs, global leaderboards One small purchase unlocks all 20 cards, forever - shareable with your family No ads, no subscriptions, no energy timers, nothing consumable. Ever. THE RULES ARE FOR SALE 20 relic-cards: bombs, second holds, bag exorcisms, time running backwards Exclusive pairs force real choices - no two runs build alike Your hand carries through death; only the board resets UNSTABLE GRAVITY Every minute or so, gravity inverts and pieces fall upward The power grid flickers just before it hits - learn to read the lights Counter it with Gravitonics or ride it with Surge Rider for a triple score multiplier A ROSTER, NOT A SPEEDOMETER 29 shapes: from the humble monomino to the full pentomino bestiary Level 1 gives you twelve friendly pieces; the endgame is eighteen pentominoes only Speed only climbs after the roster finishes mutating POLISHED TO THE LAST PIXEL Global leaderboards via Game Center - all-time and weekly, every score cryptographically sealed Dark synthwave soundtrack; the board glows on the beat One-thumb portrait controls with haptic feedback Every visual effect - flicker, shake, glow - is adjustable or can be turned off entirely No tracking. Fully playable offline, always. Free to try. One purchase to own. Play forever.

Doodle, Please!

Features
Read full description

One sketch can change the whole mechanism. In Doodle, Please!, your drawings become part of a physics puzzle. Draw a bridge, hang a weight from a rope or find a support for a lever. Help a little doodle hero reach the green flag. DRAW, WATCH, TRY AGAIN Lines become bridges and ropes. Closed shapes become stones. Combine your sketches with the level's mechanisms, watch what happens and refine your idea. PUT PHYSICS TO WORK Use weight, balance and motion. Send carts down slopes, load counterweights, compress springs and guide falling stones. One mechanism helps set the next in motion: finding the right order is part of the puzzle. SIX ISLANDS, 90 LEVELS Start with simple bridges in Doodle Academy. Journey through a river canyon, above the clouds, into crystal grottos, through a paper grove and out to the dunes. Familiar parts form more demanding combinations as you progress. A WORLD ON NOTEBOOK PAPER Pencil hatching, paper waves, mountains and trees give each island its own character. The handmade scenery leaves room for the most important part: your idea. PLAY THE FIRST SIX FOR FREE The first 6 levels are free. One full-game purchase provides access to the remaining 84 levels. Levels and islands open in order as you progress. PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE Choose English, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Italian or Simplified Chinese in Settings. Sketch an idea. See where it takes you.
