About

Project Rail

Features
Read full description

RAIL is a calm strategy arcade game built on one rule: you never control the trains, you control the world. Swipe any row or column and the whole lane slides one step, tracks, trains and all. The board wraps around, so nothing ever leaves. Trains keep rolling while the landscape shifts beneath them. Guide every pastel train to the station of its own color. A broken connection does not end the game right away. The train pauses, glows amber, and gives you one breath to rescue it with a clever shift. Land five deliveries in a row and you enter Flow, where every arrival counts double. FEATURES - One gesture, endless depth: swipe to shift rows and columns - Every run is a new board with fresh stations and tunnels - Incoming trains are announced ahead of time, so you plan instead of panic - Wordless first ride that teaches the game in seconds - Minimal design, soft pastel colors, subtle haptics - No account, no ads, no internet needed Short runs, deep planning, zero stress. How long can you keep the world moving?

Ten thousand nonograms, and not one of them needs a guess. Griddly is a nonogram โ€” a logic puzzle on a grid. The numbers beside each row and column tell you how many squares to fill and in what runs; the rest is deduction. No timers pushing you, no lives to run out of, no connection required. WHAT IS IN IT โ€ข 10,000 machine-verified puzzles โ€” 3,000 at 10ร—10, 4,000 at 15ร—15, 3,000 at 20ร—20 โ€ข Four difficulty levels, from a few quiet minutes to a proper sit-down โ€ข A new daily puzzle, a streak to keep, and a calendar to fill โ€ข Works with no connection, on a plane, underground, anywhere EVERY PUZZLE HAS ONE SOLUTION Every board was solved twice by two independent programs before it shipped โ€” once to prove it has exactly one answer, once to prove that answer can be reached by reasoning alone. You will never be asked to guess and hope. MADE TO BE PUT DOWN Your board is saved where you left it. Undo as far back as you like. Ask for a hint when a line will not come, or check your work when something feels wrong โ€” both are there when you want them and quiet when you do not.
