About

DualGrid

Features
Read 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.

Fred was late for school. Then a cat walked past โ€” and the century changed. Spacetime Chronicles is a paper stop-motion adventure about a boy, a cat, and the accidental collapse of time. Every room is a real paper set, every puzzle is solved by looking closely at the world, and nothing is explained twice. WHAT YOU DO Follow the cat through a school, an airport, a Tokyo street, a bus depot and places that should not exist. Climb, jump, push, hide, and work out what the world wants from you. Some rooms are quiet. Some are a maze with a clock running down. One is a tesseract. MADE BY HAND Every set, every character and every frame was cut from paper and animated in stop motion โ€” this is an animated feature film that turned into a game, made by one person over several years. WHAT'S INSIDE - A full adventure, several hours long - English voices, subtitles in English, Italian, Spanish, French and German - Touch controls you can move, resize and place wherever you like - No internet, no account, no ads, no tracking - Play offline, anywhere Buy it once. It's yours.
