DualGrid
Read full descriptionHide full description
DualGrid is a puzzle game where you solve the same board using two different sets of rules. In COLOR MODE, clear groups of two or more adjacent tiles of the same color. Tiles fall after each move, and new tiles refill the board. In PIPE MODE, follow connected pipes and guide the character from the start to the goal. Switch between the two modes to reshape the board and open a path forward. As you progress, new mechanics appear, including rotating tiles, wild colors, one-way valves, frozen tiles, garbage tiles, and checkpoints. With intuitive touch controls, DualGrid is easy to enjoy in a quick session or as a deeper puzzle challenge.
Tidy Crate
Read full descriptionHide full description
Tidy Crate is a quiet 3D sorting puzzle. Tap a shelf to pick up the item on top, tap another to put it down. Get three of a kind together and the shelf tidies itself. That's the whole game. No timers. No lives. No way to lose. TAKE YOUR TIME Nothing is counting down. Put the phone away mid-level and the board will be exactly where you left it. NEVER STUCK If a board runs out of moves, a shuffle rearranges it ā same items, new order, nothing lost. Every level gives you one free shuffle, and undo is always free. Always. A PLACE, NOT A SCREEN Three rooms to tidy: the Pantry, the Sunroom and the Attic. The light shifts as you work through a chapter ā morning, evening, night ā and every level adds something new to your collection. WHAT'S INSIDE ⢠36 hand-paced levels, then endless boards ⢠Every board is proven solvable before you see it ⢠20 items to collect ⢠Free undo, one free shuffle each level, free daily hints ⢠Your progress is backed up to iCloud ⢠Cozy Pass removes ads for good, if you want it App language: English. No pressure. No punishment. Just a shelf that needed sorting.
