About

Latch Blocks

Features
Read full description

Latch Blocks is a clean, focused sliding-block puzzle built around one simple goal: free the glowing core and guide it to the marked exit. Move the surrounding blocks across the grid, open a path, and solve each layout in as few moves as you can. The rules are easy to understand, while later boards ask for more careful planning and a sharper eye for space. Work through 47 handcrafted levels across five difficulty tiers, replay solved boards to improve your result, or return for a new Daily Puzzle. Hints and Undo are available when you need a little help, and an optional optimum-move display lets you compare your solution with the most efficient route. Dark stone textures and warm orange highlights give every puzzle a distinctive volcanic look without getting in the way of the board

About

Levinpincer

Features
Read full description

Line up gold coins and let lightning clear the board in Levinpincer. Coins never land on storm tokens: move one into position so a continuous row of tokens sits between it and another coin or a lightning rod. Close the line and watch the whole row fall. Plan around each coin’s reach—Crown works along rows and columns, Wing along diagonals, and Spur in all eight directions—as you solve 23 compact boards of riveted blue tiles. Use landing markers to preview how many tokens a move will strike, or turn the counts off and work it out yourself. Learn each board’s pieces through the interactive Board Key, handle armored tokens that need two strikes, and use Undo to refine your solution. Clear a board in the fewest moves to mint gold, with silver and copper marking longer solutions. Tonight’s Recast brings back one board still short of gold, while the Strike Line shows your journey through miniature starting positions. Spend earned filings on coin dies and lightning styles in the Die Room. Your progress stays on your iPhone, with no account, ads, or notifications.
