Art Sweeper

Features
Read full description

Find the flags. Reveal the art. Art Sweeper is a relaxing logic puzzle game where you use numbered clues to find hidden flags and uncover beautiful artwork. Each number shows how many flags are hidden in its 8 neighboring tiles, so every move requires careful thinking and a little strategy. Place the correct flags, reveal the board piece by piece, and complete each artwork before you run out of time or lives. As you progress, the puzzles become more challenging and new scenes are waiting to be uncovered. If you get stuck, use boosters to help you continue and solve the board. Can you find every hidden flag and reveal the full picture?

About

Bubble Words

Features
Read full description

Every bubble on the board holds a word. Berry, Waltz, Saturn, Screwdriver. Drag one bubble onto another: if the words share a theme, they merge. Four words and the theme is complete — its name lights up on the bubble and it floats away. Simple, until five themes share one board. Is Guitar music or timber? Is Mars a planet or a god of war? A wrong guess costs no life, only a move — and five right merges in a row give a move back. WHAT'S INSIDE • 6,000+ themes and 13,000 words — from food and sports to myths, movies and science • 150 levels, then endless play • A board that fights back: bubbles freeze over, words arrive sliced in two, and a finished theme can become a single word inside a bigger one • Three boosters: Extra Bubble drops new words, Hint highlights a matching pair, Magnet completes a theme outright • Daily rewards, a lucky wheel and 65 achievements • Mastery ranks: every win brings the next one closer • English and Russian, each with its own hand-built word base — not a translation • No move timer — think as long as you like HOW TO PLAY Drag a bubble onto a bubble. Words from the same theme merge; mismatched ones don't, and the attempt still costs a move. Four words of one theme make a finished bubble: the theme's name appears on it and it flies up into the progress bar. A level is done when every theme is collected. Your moves are shown in the circle at the top. Run out, and you can add more and continue from the same board. A frozen bubble carries a number that drops with every theme you collect; at zero it thaws and reveals its word. Great for vocabulary, focus and spotting links where you least expect them. Five minutes in a queue or a whole evening — you can always pick up a level right where you left off.
