About

Busway Jam

Features
Read full description

Clear the path. Match every passenger. Send each full bus on its way before time runs out. Busway Jam blends color sorting with a clever traffic puzzle. Slide open-top buses across the grid, move blockers, and create an unbroken route between the passenger queue and a bus of the matching color. Think beyond boarding: a full bus still needs a clear corridor in the direction it faces. Move vehicles into position, free blocked exits, and trigger satisfying chain reactions as passengers take their seats and buses leave the board. Every move matters while the timer keeps running. Navigate fixed obstacles, reposition movable blocks, handle linked vehicles, and master buses restricted to a single movement axis. Clear every bus and passenger queue to unlock the next challenge.

About

LYFE Approach

Features
Read full description

Drag a line from each aircraft to the runway. Don't let them collide. That's all, and it won't let you go. LYFE Approach is air traffic control at its purest: one finger, a screen full of traffic, and a runway that gets busier by the minute. Jets, props, helicopters and drones, each with their own speed and their own place to land. FOUR MAPS โ€ข Island: one runway, one helipad. The classic field. โ€ข Crossing: two runways that cross. The short one takes props and drones only. โ€ข Coast: parallel runways and two helipads. Busy, but clear. โ€ข Carrier: a ship at sea, slowly turning. The deck turns with it. DAILY CHALLENGE Every day the same map and the same flights for everyone. One leaderboard a day in Game Center. How far can you get? MADE FOR YOUR FINGERS Haptic feedback on every landing and every near miss. Multitouch: steer two aircraft at once. Works with Apple Pencil and trackpad on iPad.
