HyggeTid

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.

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.
