About

Arrovex Flow

Features
Read full description

A clear path is all you need. Finding it is the puzzle. Arrovex Flow turns a board of directional hexagons into a satisfying challenge of logic, order, and observation. Every piece already knows where it wants to go โ€” your job is to figure out which one should leave first. Tap a hexagon and it follows its arrow. If the way ahead is open, it escapes the board. If another piece stands in its path, you'll need to deal with that obstacle first. One move creates an opening. Another clears a route. Slowly, a crowded board begins to disappear. Early levels give you room to learn the flow, while later layouts require more careful planning. Look at every direction, think a few moves ahead, and find the sequence that leaves the board completely empty. Complete puzzles to earn coins and keep them ready for moments when you need another approach. Shuffle can rearrange the field, while Destroy gives you a way to remove matching pieces and break through a difficult situation. For a different kind of challenge, unlock Speed Mode. The rules stay simple, but now you have only 30 seconds to find the right sequence and clear the board. No complicated controls. No random guessing. Just arrows, open paths, and that satisfying final move when the last hexagon disappears. Take your time โ€” or race against it. Find the flow in Arrovex Flow.

About

Colony Zero

Features
Read full description

Colony Zero is a colony simulation where you never issue direct orders. You set priorities, policies, and conditions โ€” then ten colonists decide who mines, builds, farms, and explores. You land on an unknown world with a landing module, a generator, and a thirty-day survival goal. Keep food, water, energy, metal, minerals, electronics, plastic, and medicine in balance while health, happiness, and loyalty shift with every cycle. Propose buildings โ€” mines, greenhouses, solar panels, storage, and quarters for workers, engineers, and scientists โ€” then assign work on the colony map. Scan, repair, and trade from the action wheel as Outpost Alpha grows. People carry professions, traits, values, and ambitions. Friendships and rivalries form, factions appear, and autonomy requests can split districts from your control. Choose a governance model: Colony Council, Administrator, Corporate Colony, Military Command, or Free Settlement. Research new projects, manage the economy, and push into new biomes as days pass: Red Desert, Alien Forest, Frozen Zone, Volcanic Region, Ocean, and Crystal Caves. Daily events force hard choices. Survive the first thirty days, or watch the colony fail.
