About

HighRaws

Features
Read full description

HighRaws is a semantic word puzzle game where seven clue words orbit one hidden answer. Your task is to choose the center word that connects all clues through meaning, not spelling, letters, or anagrams. Each puzzle uses different types of relationships, including antonyms, compounds, idioms, near synonyms, domain associations, common phrases, and collocations. Wrong guesses dim the selected answer, while correct answers reveal the full semantic map with colored links and short explanations. Play curated puzzles across easy, medium, and hard difficulty levels, try the Daily Orbit, search the puzzle library, and review solved connections after each round. The app also tracks progress, accuracy, streaks, best score, and missed relationship types. You can create your own orbits by adding a center word, seven clue words, relationship types, candidate answers, and explanations. Saved custom puzzles can be edited or deleted at any time.

About

Arkadia

Features
Read full description

Draw the artwork. Play the games. Beat your score. Arkadia is five arcade games that share one sketchbook. Draw a symbol, a ball, a block, anything you like, and it becomes the art you play with. CASCADE Match three, chase the cascade, spend your moves wisely. RICOCHET Bank shots off the walls to clear the board before it reaches you. ASCENT Pop what rises before it escapes. FLING Pull back, let go, and bring the whole fort down. GLIDE Tap to fly. One capsule, endless sky. DRAW ANYTHING A real drawing tool, not a colour picker. Brushes, sizes, an eyedropper, undo and redo. Draw something once and use it everywhere. Your art is a skin, never a shortcut. A bigger drawing is never an easier target: the game decides the shape, you decide how it looks. Nobody wins by drawing a huge blob. ONE WALLET, FIVE GAMES Coins are earned by playing and shared across every game. They pay out at the same rate per minute everywhere, so no game is the efficient one and you can just play the one you like. Every game runs forever and gets harder. There is no last level, only your best score and whoever is above you on the board.
