Loomlatch is a tactile ribbon-routing puzzle built for short, satisfying moments. Each ribbon begins beneath a unique jewel. Tap a clasp to switch it between straight and crossed, then watch the satin paths reshape through the instrument. Guide every ribbon to the matching emblem at the bottom. What begins with one simple clasp grows into a compact mechanical puzzle box: sealed clasps, linked twins, one-way ratchets, repeated colors, and layered combinations make every chapter feel different. Features: - 42 handcrafted puzzles across seven chapters - One-touch play with animated visual tutorials - Distinct colors and emblems so sound is never required - Par goals for elegant solutions - Original generated backgrounds and interface artwork - Sound and haptic controls - No ads, no account, no tracking - Fully playable offline - Designed exclusively for iPhone

Nockturn

Every arrow wants out. Tap one and it flies off the way it points โ€” unless something is in the way. ONE RULE CHANGES EVERYTHING An arrow that passes a mirror FLIPS it. So whichever arrow you clear first rewrites the paths of the ones left behind. Not every open arrow is the right arrow. IT TEACHES, THEN IT TESTS The first time a new rule appears the game stops, explains it, and lets you try it in a level with no traps. Mirror, spinning arrow, rock, portal, chained arrow, iced arrow, counted arrow. 300 VERIFIED LEVELS From 7 arrows to 32, on boards from 5x5 to 8x8. Every level is proven solvable by a solver before it ships โ€” and proven to require real thought. THE DAILY DUEL One board a day, identical for every player on earth. Solve it and share your grid: green for every clean move, red for every wasted one. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - Works completely offline - No account, no sign-up - Never an ad in the middle of a puzzle - Colorblind mode, effects can be turned off - 12 languages
