Final Fortress is a match-3 puzzle. The whole game is the screen of an old terminal: green text, one cursor, and you, the commandant of the last fortress. It is a quiet game. A working console in the dark, the hum of the systems, static like rain. A watch takes fifteen or twenty minutes: do the day's tasks, read what came in, hand over. Nothing hurries you, and nothing happens while you are away. Come back after a week and the fortress is exactly as you left it. Match tiles to finish the day's tasks. Each task brings supplies. Spend them to repair the fortress: reactor, hydroponics, antenna, armory, infirmary. Every repaired system opens new missions. Match 4 or more to charge special tiles. They clear a line, a block, or every tile of one kind. Swap two charged tiles together and they fire as one bigger shape, up to the whole board. The board gets busier as you go: convoy crates that pay out at the bottom, sealed containers with a special tile inside, interference to clear layer by layer, burned sectors the tiles fall past. Some tasks ask for a pattern: decode a sequence in order, or fill a gauge in every column. AI Madness is a mode of its own, outside the fortress. Each shift bends the rules: boards up to 10 by 13, sometimes only three kinds of tile, cascades that barely stop, tasks that may be impossible. On an iPhone with Apple Intelligence, Apple's on-device model (Foundation Models) picks the shift's character and writes its line in the log. Nothing leaves the phone. Otherwise the terminal does the same on its own. Nothing is at stake and nothing is banked. Every shift has a code. Send it to a friend and they get exactly the same board. There is a story in the log: three acts, four threads, and the notes of the commandants who held the fortress before you. It comes a few lines at a time. Read it or skip it. The game never nags about it. Repair the antenna and you will see a board with other players' stations. It is view-only, there is no chat, and it updates once a day. When the story is over, the log keeps going quietly on its own. The music belongs to your fortress alone. The sound is synthesized live and seeded from your fortress, so your station hums like no other and never loops. The hum changes with what is running, with the hour of the night and with the weather outside. Each kind of tile has its own note, and a cascade climbs the scale. One extra room, The Long Dark, carries a call of its own. Three more stations use the instruments in your phone: a weather post that reads the barometer, an acoustic modem and a direction finder. A home screen widget shows your fortress at a glance, in StandBy too. No ads. No lives, timers, energy or streaks. No pop-ups, no push notifications, no accounts, no daily rewards to come back for. Run out of moves and the terminal just says the packet was lost. Try again, nothing is taken away. You can drop a task at any time. Most purchases are cosmetic only: screen colors, ambience rooms, strike sounds, custom names. One purchase, Support the Watch, buys nothing at all: it is a thank-you and nothing more. Nothing you can buy helps you play, and no purchase moves you up the board. Works offline, on iPhone and iPad. Fully playable with VoiceOver, with a flicker-free stable phosphor mode and a calm mode that softens the board's flashes and haptics.

Jame is a pixel-art logic puzzle. Place one piece in every row, every column, and every colored region — and never let two pieces touch, not even at the corners. Every puzzle has exactly one solution, and every one can be solved with pure logic. No guessing, ever. HOW IT WORKS • Tap to mark a cell you've ruled out; swipe to mark a whole run of them. • Double tap (or hold) to place a piece. A wrong placement costs a heart — you get three — and a clean solve is FLAWLESS. • Puzzles grow from 4×4 to 10×10 and from EASY to HARD in waves — every ten levels ramp to a peak, then the next piece. WHAT YOU EARN • A new hand-drawn piece every 10 Classic levels through level 1,000. Play the board as any piece you own. • Your collection: every piece you've earned, and the day you earned it. • Earn 100 achievement playing pieces by completing their requirements. • Hints for the tough ones, and coins from the daily puzzle to spend on them. THE DAILY One shared 10×10 hard puzzle per day — the same board for everyone in the world. Race the clock (a wrong placement adds a minute), keep your streak alive, and see where you land on the daily leaderboard. Every 7-day streak pays a bonus. TREASURES & GOLDEN CRAFTING Spend rubies on mystery chests to discover over 500 treasures, with no duplicates. Collect Gold Fragments to craft golden versions of treasures you own, then equip your favorites on the board. SEASONS Each month is a season with its own leaderboard. Complete 20 levels in a season to earn its golden piece — the only way to get one. The shop stocks a few seasonal pieces for the coins you earn by playing. MADE WITH CARE • No energy limits. Watch an optional ad for one free Prize Wheel spin each day. • No purchase is required to earn pieces or play any puzzle. Coins and rubies can optionally be bought to get hints and cosmetic pieces sooner. • Progress syncs across your devices with iCloud; leaderboards run on Game Center. • Optional reminders for the daily and your streak. • Hand-made pixel art, haptics, and a built-in tutorial that teaches the rules in a minute. If you like Star Battle, nonograms, Sudoku, or any pure-logic puzzle, Jame is for you.
