Sparkchime turns your screen into a small pixel city at night and hands you the fireworks. Tap anywhere in the sky and a rocket climbs to that spot and bursts. Open the KEYS panel and the 26 letters become a glockenspiel: each key fires its own colour, its own shape and its own note, so quick typing becomes a chain of light and sound. Pick star, ring, flower or heart bursts, call down a shower of fourteen rockets at once, or let AUTO run a show while you watch. Hit REC, put on a performance, hit STOP, and it is saved to MY SHOWS for replay any time. Three skylines (Midnight City, Harbor Dusk, Hill Village) change the mood, six small achievements mark your milestones, and a share button hands a screenshot of your best burst to the system share sheet. Everything you hear is synthesised live on the device. There are no audio files to download and no account to create, and the fireworks work even when you are offline. WHAT YOU GET • Tap-to-launch fireworks with four burst shapes • A 26-key chime keyboard: one letter, one colour, one note • Shower and AUTO modes for hands-off displays • Record and replay your own shows • Three night skylines to choose from • Six achievements to unlock • Optional haptics, music and sound toggles • English and Simplified Chinese • Free to play, no purchases, supported by an occasional ad Made for idle minutes, late nights and small hands. Light the night.

Welcome to Arrow Ville, a charming 3D puzzle adventure filled with adorable sheep, colorful farms, and cleverly connected paths. Each level is built from layers of small blocks, with several sheep waiting to reach the ends of their own arrow-marked paths. However, some blocks and sheep may stand above others, hiding routes or preventing the sheep below from moving. Rotate the map, observe the level from different angles, and find every available route. You will need to determine which sheep should move first and plan the correct order carefully. Every move matters because each level gives you only a limited number of moves. Guide all the sheep to their destinations to complete the level! GAME FEATURES • Plan the Correct Order Study how the sheep and paths interact, then decide which sheep should move first. • Rotate the 3D Map View the floating farm from different angles to discover hidden paths and possible routes. • Limited-Move Challenges Complete each puzzle before you run out of moves. Think ahead and avoid unnecessary actions. • Adorable Sheep Meet a lively flock of cute sheep and help every one of them reach the correct destination. • Creative Block-Based Levels Explore layered puzzles built from colorful blocks, winding paths, and cleverly placed obstacles. • Varied Farm Scenery Enjoy a fresh environment in every level, with different layouts, landscapes, and visual themes. Arrow Ville combines route planning, spatial observation, and order-based logic in a relaxing farm adventure. Rotate the world, choose the right sheep, and lead the entire flock home!
