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. EXPERT & TREASURES Complete Classic level 50 to unlock 1,000 Expert puzzles: two pieces in every row, column, and color. Earn rubies every 10 Expert levels and every 10 Classic levels after level 1,000. Spend rubies on mystery chests to collect 386 treasures, with no duplicates. 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 ads. No energy. Nothing that makes you wait. • 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.
