About

Tidy Crate

Read 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 โ€” 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 โ€” morning, evening, night โ€” and every level adds something new to your collection. WHAT'S INSIDE โ€ข 36 hand-paced levels, then endless boards โ€ข Every board is proven solvable before you see it โ€ข 20 items to collect โ€ข Free undo, one free shuffle each level, free daily hints โ€ข Your progress is backed up to iCloud โ€ข Cozy Pass removes ads for good, if you want it App language: English. No pressure. No punishment. Just a shelf that needed sorting.

About

ShadowGrid

Read full description

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.

Verdict

The call

Tidy Crate and ShadowGrid are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
