About

Mosaic Loop

Read full description

Every mosaic starts as a jumble of colored gems. Your job is to take it apart in the right order. Mosaic Loop is a calm, handcrafted sorting puzzle. Tap a group of matching gems and they slide onto the loop that circles the board. Clear a full color and it leaves for good. Fill the loop with mismatched leftovers and you run out of room. A 1,000-level campaign keeps introducing new mosaic patterns and board layouts. Pinch to zoom in on a crowded corner, pan to find the color you need, and watch the board refill as space opens up. Features: - 1,000 mosaic puzzle levels - One-tap gem sorting, no timers, no pressure - A conveyor loop with a capacity meter that warns you before it fills - Pinch-zoom and pan for larger boards - A gentle tutorial on level one - Restart a level instantly if you reach a dead end - Music, sound, and vibration switches - Bundled levels plus secure level-data updates - Optional rewarded ads for extra conveyor capacity - Banner and interstitial advertising - No account required - Progress stored on your device Mosaic Loop uses advertising, install attribution, and gameplay analytics. On iOS 14 and later, tracking permission is requested before the advertising identifier may be used. Declining tracking does not restrict gameplay. Read the pattern, pick your order, and clear the loop.

Ice Flow

Read full description

A picture made of colorful ice cubes is waiting to be cleared. In Ice Flow: Pixel Art, your penguins collect the cubes one color at a time—but choosing which igloo to open next is up to you. Igloos are stacked below the board, with five slots available to hold them. Tap an igloo to move it into a slot. Its penguins head across the ice, gather cubes in their matching color, and carry them back. Once they finish collecting their target, the igloo leaves and its slot becomes available again. Plan before you tap. If you open an igloo after its color has disappeared from the board, its penguins have nothing to collect and the igloo stays in its slot. Run out of free slots and you can’t reach the igloos you need. Check the colors still on the board, consider what’s buried in the stack, and choose an order that keeps room for your next move. A LITTLE PLANNING GOES A LONG WAY • Pick an igloo and watch its penguins collect matching ice cubes • Keep the five slots available as you work through the stack • Uncover igloos below the ones you’ve already used • Clear the board to finish each puzzle SETTLE IN AND SOLVE One-tap controls make it easy to begin, while later levels give you more to think through. There are no timers or lives to manage, so you can study the board and make each choice at your own pace. Follow the penguins as they slide across the ice, then enjoy the colorful artwork added to your collection when the puzzle is complete. Explore hundreds of levels featuring arctic wildlife, winter comforts, food, nature, and other frozen surprises. With playful penguins, smooth sliding animations, and soothing music, Ice Flow: Pixel Art fits a quick break or a longer puzzle session. Take a look at the board. Which igloo should go first?
