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.

About

Toco Candy

Read full description

Toco Candy is a cozy match-3 game with a twist: you don't swap single pieces, you slide entire rows and columns. Whatever slides out on the right comes back in on the left — and suddenly three, four or five hearts, stars and strawberries line up. SLIDE, MATCH, CHAIN REACTIONS • Swipe a row or column by one tile. Three or more matching pieces clear the board. • Falling pieces trigger chain reactions. Every extra wave in the same move raises your coin multiplier: Ɨ2, Ɨ3 and beyond. • Four in a row make a rocket, five a golden Level Up medal. • No move left? The board reshuffles for free. LEVELS AND GIFTS Every level gives you three small goals. After five completed levels you get a gift: pick one of three new clothing items and choose which of your characters receives it. WARDROBE AND CHARACTERS • Tops, pants, shoes and extras — every character has a wardrobe of their own. • Dress your character in the strawberry fitting room; the outfit follows you onto the board. • Unlock new characters with the coins you collect. • Seasonal events such as Oktoberfest bring their own pieces and their own collection. LEADERBOARD If you like, pick a player name and compare yourself with others: your rank, the players ahead of you and how many levels you need for the next rank. Without a name, everything stays on your device. FAIR AND RELAXED • No ads, no in-app purchases, no energy system. • No account, no email address. • Plays offline too; your progress is kept. The game is in German.
