About

NeonFold

Features
Read full description

Neon Fold is a focused puzzle game built around the idea of folding the playfield like a sheet of paper. Each fold moves one half of the grid onto the other, and your goal is to bring matching neon glyphs together by choosing the correct sequence of folds within the limits of each stage. Study the glowing symbols, fold the sheet left, right, up, or down using buttons or swipe controls, and preview the result of each move before committing. Visual cues help you understand how folds will align glyphs, move them across the grid, or create mismatches. If a sequence goes wrong, you can undo or reset your moves and try again. Progress through handcrafted stages that gradually increase in complexity, with 2x2, 3x3, and 4x4 sheets offering increasingly challenging spatial puzzles. Enjoy smooth folding animations, realistic crease lines, paper movement, and a minimalist neon visual style featuring cyan, magenta, and gold glyphs. Track your progress with high scores and career statistics, personalize your player profile with a name and portrait, and adjust haptics, sound, fold hints, animations, and glyph glow. Designed for short, focused sessions, Neon Fold combines spatial reasoning, careful planning, and clean visual presentation without timers or unnecessary distractions

About

Color Elixir

Features
Read full description

Color Elixir Step into a quiet alchemy workshop where every potion is made of light, pigment and patience. Color Elixir turns colour theory into four hands on crafts that feed one another, so a single vial can travel through the whole pipeline before it is sealed. Chase living pigments across a glowing basin. Red matter flees your lure ring, blue matter chases the frost dome, yellow swarms move as a flock, and only the right catch belongs in the bottle. Trap them in bubbles, ride the currents and ferry them home without dragging murk along. Split raw light through a prism you swing by hand. Fan the spectrum wide or squeeze it tight, drop shade cloth over the bands you do not want, and feed clean colour into crystals before they overheat. Race the clock as fresh liquid decays hue by hue. Chill one vial, warm another, seal a third with a rune, and land every colour on its target at the same moment. Finish by pouring viscous drops into a spinning dish. Thin liquid races outward, heavy liquid sinks inward, and a sudden brake pulls the swirl into petals. Match rings, spirals and blossoms, then seal the result into your codex. Play game, just colour.
