A little logic. A growing quilt. Coverlet brings eight puzzle techniques together in a calm quilting-inspired game: Patchwork, Appliqué, Piecing, Stitchline, Rosette, Buttons, Cross-Stitch and Gingham. Explore a journey for every technique: 100 Patchwork levels and seven 12-level campaigns with progressive boards. Return for daily puzzles, the weekly Sampler Square, or a short Sprint. Play at your own pace. Relaxed campaign play is the default, with optional timed challenges and earned Thread rewards. Use hints and undo as you learn each technique. Core puzzles work offline. Start with the free boards. Full Quilt is a one-time purchase that includes the complete Patchwork Journey, board packs, the daily archive, unlimited practice and additional fabrics.

Optional Game Center features let you take your puzzles further.

About

Kolba

Features
Read full description

Kolba is a calm ball sort puzzle. One new puzzle every day, the same one for everyone, and a journey of chapters to play at your own pace. Move balls between glass tubes until every colour sits in a tube of its own. A group of the same colour on top moves together. Some puzzles add a jar: it holds one group at a time, locks to the first colour you put in it, and has to be empty when you finish. That one rule changes how you plan. A journey from an atom to the universe: behind your tubes, each run of 30 chapters is one step up in scale. You start inside an atom, pass molecules, cells, a leaf, a meadow and a forest, rise above the clouds, circle the Earth and the Moon, and sort your way out to the stars, a galaxy and the whole universe. Tilt your phone and the world slides gently behind the board. • 120 numbered chapters: finish one and the next is a tap away. Tubes, fog that hides what lies underneath, tubes of different heights, and a Challenge every tenth chapter that you can skip for now and come back to • Soft music, off in Settings • A new daily puzzle at midnight, the same for everyone, easiest on Monday • Past days: every puzzle you missed waits in the archive, with no penalty • A short tutorial that teaches by playing, not by reading • Hints that nudge before they tell, and undo as far back as you like • A score from your moves against par, with no timer on the daily • A quiet month view of the days you played, with no streak to lose • A clay or Liquid Glass look, ball styles, ball palettes and backgrounds to suit your eyes • Colour-assist symbols, high contrast and reduced motion • Optional Game Center leaderboards and achievements • Optional iCloud sync of your lessons and finished days • A widget, a Control Center control and a Siri shortcut for today's puzzle • In English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Hindi, Russian and Indonesian No ads. No purchases. No account. No tracking. Kolba works fully offline. Nothing goes to us: iCloud sync goes to your own iCloud, Game Center only if you turn it on.
