Tile Match

Read full description

Join two tiles that carry the same face. The line between them may bend twice, and it may travel around the outside of the board — but it can never cross a tile. That is the whole game. NOTHING HURRIES YOU No lives. No energy. No timers. No way to fail. If a board runs out of moves it reshuffles itself, free, whether or not you subscribe. You can stare at a board for five minutes and nothing will interrupt you. FIVE WAYS TO PLAY • Journey — 160 hand-curved levels across eight chapters, from a first board of six pairs to boards of seventy-eight stacked three deep • Daily Path — one board a day, the same board for every player in the world, and a streak that grows for as long as you keep showing up • Focus Sessions — five, ten or twenty minutes with a breathing pacer and a bell at the end, on a board sized to finish near it • Zen Endless — boards tuned to where you are now, with no stars, no clock and no end • Weekly Ascent — seven boards, gentle to long, released every Monday YOUR ZEN REPORT Focus minutes, your streaks, and the hour of the day you play most. Private, kept on your device, and yours. EIGHT PLACES TO SIT Still Water, Pine Frost, Ember Dusk, Salt Flats, Night Garden, Deep Current, High Cirrus and Quiet Stone — each with its own light and its own soundscape. MADE TO BE QUIET Tile faces are told apart by their silhouette, never by colour alone. Every tile is labelled for VoiceOver with its face, position and depth. The whole app honours Dynamic Type and Reduce Motion, and there is a one-handed layout for either hand. No accounts. No advertising. No third-party tracking. — ZEN PASS The first two chapters, today's Daily Path and ten Endless boards a day are free for as long as you want them. Zen Pass opens the rest: • Every chapter, and a new one each month • Unlimited hints, shuffles, undo and Peek • Two streak freezes a month, so one busy day never costs you the streak • The full Daily Path archive • Ten and twenty minute Focus Sessions • Unlimited Zen Endless • Every theme, and two new ones each month • Your Zen Report • Weekly Ascent • Progress synced between your iPhone and iPad Zen Pass is an auto-renewing subscription: • Monthly — US$4.99 per month • Annual — US$29.99 per year, with the first 7 days free Or buy it once: Lifetime — US$49.99, which never renews. The annual plan begins with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.
