CalystrixCard Carnival

Features
Read full description

CalystrixCard Carnival is a collection of three original card puzzles, each with its own rule set. One idea holds them together: a deck of cards is a wonderful set of puzzle pieces, and a Joker is the piece that fits anywhere. Joker Orbit asks you to plant cards on three turning rings around a Joker star. Every card you plant makes the whole orrery drift, so you are always planning one step into a board that is about to move. Joker Bloom treats cards as seeds. Each suit grows its own way โ€” hearts spread sideways, diamonds run diagonally, spades creep downward, clubs send out a single runner. Four touching plots of one suit bloom and lock in. Plant in the wrong order and your garden strangles itself. Joker Prophecy shows you the future. You can see the next three cards and the exact square each one will land on. You cannot stop them โ€” but you can spend Joker tokens to redirect them, change their suit, or turn them wild. Then you satisfy the omens the stage demands. Every one of the 36 stages is built from a fixed seed, so a stage is the same puzzle for everybody, every time. Skill decides the outcome, not the shuffle. Features โ€ข Three original puzzles, 36 hand-authored stages, three stars to earn on each. โ€ข Joker Orbit โ€” a drifting three-ring orrery. Nudge a ring, spend a Freeze, align the rays. โ€ข Joker Bloom โ€” suit-directed growth on a 6ร—6 garden, with Joker Suns that revive everything nearby. โ€ข Joker Prophecy โ€” turn-based and untimed. See what is coming, then bend it with Joker tokens. โ€ข Versus (2โ€“6 players) โ€” the host picks one puzzle and stage, everyone solves an identical board, and the best score takes the round. Placing earns XP for everyone. โ€ข No internet, no accounts, no data leaving your device โ€” versus runs peer-to-peer over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. โ€ข Failed attempts still earn XP, so progress only ever moves forward. โ€ข Progression: levels, XP, stars, solve streaks, achievements, a leaderboard, plus Stats and a full run History. โ€ข Sound and haptics, both switchable.

About

Firecrest Dragon HuntPro

Features
Read full description

Firecrest Dragon HuntPro is a focused collection of three original 3D arcade rounds built around a treasure-hoarding dragon. Each game runs in Apple's SceneKit renderer with artwork and sound created in-house for the project. Egg Harvest: steer your dragon between four lanes to catch tumbling eggs before they shatter. Longer streaks raise the fall speed and your score multiplier. Flame Strike: track a shifting target across a stone courtyard, line up the heat gauge, and release at the right moment for an overheat combo. Treasure Run: swipe between three lanes to pilot the dragon down a winding ravine, dodging stone pillars and scooping up gold piles that extend the run. Rounds are tuned for short sessions. Most finish in a few minutes, and the leaderboard remembers your best runs across all three modes. Progress, settings and session history live locally on your device so you can pick up again anytime. A level map lets you unlock new skies and backdrops as you clear scoring milestones. Difficulty curves and lane geometry were hand-tuned so later runs stay readable even as the pace climbs. Haptics and sound can be toggled individually in Settings.
