About

HyggeTid

Features
Read full description

HyggeTid is a match-3 puzzle you can take your time with. "Hygge" is the Danish word for warmth, comfort and taking your time, and that is the whole idea here. Swap sweets, match three or more, and watch the board come apart in colour. No clock on the board, no pressure to keep up. Just you, a sweet little world, and one more level. EASY TO PICK UP Swap two sweets to line up three or more. Match four in a row for a striped candy that clears a whole line, cross two matches for a wrapped one that blows a hole in the board, or line up five for a colour bomb that takes every sweet of one colour with it. A JOURNEY THROUGH CANDY LAND Follow a winding candy road past frosted castles, chocolate rivers and lollipop trees. Every level brings its own goal and its own puzzle to work out. THREE STARS TO CHASE Reach the goal to pass a level. Reach it with moves to spare and you earn more stars. Collect enough of them and the Star Chest opens. BOOSTERS FOR STUBBORN BOARDS A hammer, a bomb, a rocket or a shuffle can turn a hopeless board around when you need it. A WEEKEND EVENT The CandyFriday Festival runs from Friday to Sunday. Complete tasks while you play and collect the rewards as your points add up. A GIFT EVERY DAY Come back each day for a reward that grows the longer your streak runs. PLAY ANYWHERE No account, no sign-up and no internet needed. Your progress lives on your device. Sign in to Game Center if you would like your score on the leaderboard, but that part is entirely optional. HyggeTid is free to play. A failed level costs one of your five lives, and lives come back on their own over time. It contains optional in-app purchases and shows ads between levels. Ads can be removed with a one-time purchase. Made by SlapLigeApp.

About

Sort & Settle

Read full description

Sort & Settle is a sorting puzzle with nothing hurrying you. Tap a tube to lift a block. Tap another to pour it. Fill each tube with one colour and the level is done. You can learn it in about eight seconds, and there is no way to lose it. BUILT FOR BRAINS THAT NEED SOMETHING TO DO This was designed with ADHD, ADD and autistic players in mind. That shaped real decisions, not just the description: • No timers. Anywhere. Not on levels, not on menus. • No streaks, no lives, no daily targets. Nothing expires while you're away. Put it down for a month and nothing is lost. • Unlimited undo and unlimited hints, always, free. Nothing is counted and nothing runs out. • No ads. Not now, not later. • No notifications unless you turn them on. • Your music, podcast or noise app keeps playing. Sort & Settle mixes with it and never interrupts. IT WILL TELL YOU IF A BOARD CAN'T BE WON Sorting puzzles let you paint yourself into a corner — a position that's legal, still has moves, and cannot be finished. Most games leave you working at one until you give up and assume you're bad at it. This one checks after every move, and if the board really can't be won it says so and offers to step you back to where it still could be. You will never spend twenty minutes on something that was already lost. MADE TO BE SEEN • Three themes — Calm, Contrast and Playful — switchable instantly, all free. • Every colour was tested against simulated protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia, and adjusted until the hardest pair was comfortably distinguishable. • When a board has more colours than a theme can keep clearly apart, distinct shapes appear on the blocks automatically. You don't have to know that setting exists. • Full VoiceOver support, and the game names blocks by shape rather than colour, so the labels make sense whether or not you've seen the colours. • Larger Text, Bold Text, Reduce Motion and Differentiate Without Colour all respected. • Every action is a single tap on a large target. Nothing needs a drag. MORE ROOM WHEN YOU WANT IT Turn on Extra Spare Tube and every board in the game gets more forgiving. It isn't called easy mode, because it isn't one — it's just more room to think. WORKS ANYWHERE No account. No sign-up. No internet needed, ever. The app has no networking code in it at all. If you're signed into iCloud your place follows you between iPhone and iPad; if you're not, everything still works and stays on your device. FREE, THEN ONE PAYMENT Levels 1–25 are free. One purchase unlocks every level after that, forever, on all your devices. It's a single payment, not a subscription, and it buys levels — never hints, never themes, never accessibility settings. Hundreds of hand-paced levels before the board stops growing, then it keeps going.
