Leadlight is a calm, luminous logic game about joining islands with bridges. Every island shows a number: exactly how many bridges it needs. Draw them one at a time, never let two bridges cross, and the board settles into a single connected pattern, like light coming through leaded glass. Every level is verified to have exactly one solution, so there is always a way through by reasoning alone. Nothing is random, and nothing is guesswork. - Luminous themes to unlock, including Prism Garden, Tidal Archive, Ember Causeway, Moonlit Relay and Solar Foundry - Hints for when a board stops making sense - Plays entirely offline

Shadow Grid is a calm, satisfying 3D puzzle: stack and rotate simple blocks on a grid until the shadows they cast on two walls match the target silhouette exactly. - 200 handcrafted levels, from a gentle two-piece start to real spatial-reasoning challenges. - A separate 100-level Pro pack for players who want a tougher challenge - bigger grids, more pieces, and blocks that sit at different heights so the shadows overlap in ways you can't just read off the floor. - Drag pieces along the floor and tap to rotate - no timers, no penalties, just figure it out at your own pace. - Global leaderboard: pick a username and an avatar, and see how your progress compares to other players. - Five visual skins to re-color your blocks, from a classic monochrome look to warmer palettes. - Reset any level instantly and try again as many times as you like. No sign-up required - just open the app and start stacking. An optional one-time purchase removes ads entirely.
